Http to Https implementation - What happens to the backlinks?

[Malika1]

UPDATE: Found a source that says that Google recognizes the redirects, so it should be fine leaving backlinks as is - https://www.seroundtable.com/google-link-https-20552.html

Hi again Mozers,

When a site's protocol is changed from http to https, what impact would it have on the backlinks? Especially, when the backlinks doesn't contain any protocal mentioned.

Thanks in advance

You could just redirrect all HTTP links to HTTPS using a .htaccess document
