Dear Marcus,
thanks for your answer. The solution was to add a relay in front of the backend
webserver:
table <httpd> { 127.0.0.1 }
table <other> { 127.0.0.1 }
table <backend> { 45.67.158.169 }
http protocol "https" {
tls keypair "uprojekt.hu"
tls keypair "biztonsagimentes.hu"
match request header set "X-Forwarded-For" value "$REMOTE_ADDR"
return error
pass request quick header "Host" value "uprojekt.hu" forward to <httpd>
pass request quick header "Host" value "biztonsagimentes.hu" forward to
<other>
}
http protocol "https2" {
pass request header "Host" value "biztonsagimentes.hu" forward to <backend>
}
relay "relay" {
listen on lo0 port 8079
protocol https2
forward with tls to <backend> port 443
}
relay "https" {
listen on egress port 443 tls
protocol https
forward to <httpd> port 8081
forward to <other> port 8079
}
The problem was with the original configuration, that I used "forward with tls"
in the relay "https", so both connections were forwarded with encryption. The
httpd on the fronted server received encrypted requests.
So I created the "relay" relay listening on 8079. What happens now is that a
connection comes on the domain biztonsagimentes.hu, I relay it to the "relay"
relay, and that relay it encrypted to the backend server on a different network.
