[Ilugc] A serious issue of Amazon Elastic Load Balancer
Hi all, for last few days I am facing problem while configuring ELB at Amazon cloud (EC2). The issue is, I am not getting client IP address while I have configured the ELB listener in Layer 4(TCP) mode in server variable, while I am getting that in Layer 7(HTTP) mode. I need client IP for my application. Still ELB has the issue of SSL/TLS Renegotiation vulnerability. So, I am not able to use ELB listener in Layer7(HTTP) mode, rather I am using ELB listener in Layer4(TCP) mode and handle the SSL/TLS Renegotiation vulnerability through Apache web server. That means.. Mode of Listener | Client IP address | SSL/TLS Renegotiation vulnerability --- Layer4(TCP) | Not Available | Vulnerability can be overcome Layer7(HTTP) | Available | Vulnerability can not be overcome I need both the feature(Client IP and Vulnerability overcome). I have written to Amazon support, but till now got very poor support from them. Now I am posting this issue to these list, so that if anyone have any idea to resolve that can share with everyone. Below is the mail that I have written to Amazon support.. --- Hi, as per the document published at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/elb-listener-config.html When you use TCP for both front-end and back-end connections, your load balancer will forward the request to the back-end instances without modification to the headers. But unfortunately I am not getting IP address of client from the server variable REMOTE_ADDR on Layer 4 configuration of ELB. I am getting modified address on that variable. How can I get the actual one? I have no option to create Layer 7 configuration of ELB because still ELB has issue with SSL/TLS Renegotiation. Currently I am handling this issue from Apache server of back-end instance. Now I need to know the process to know the IP address of client through Layer 4 configuration of ELB. Without client IP our application will not run properly. I am not able to run the application. Waiting for prompt reply .. thanks. --- --- Nirmalya Lahiri Mobile: +91-9433113536 VOIP: nirmalyalah...@sip.linphone.org ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] A serious issue of Amazon Elastic Load Balancer
Girish, That means you are suggesting me to replace ELB with an amazon EC2 instance running relayd as a load-balancer. Am I a correct? It is not perfect solution. Because Amazon ELB has redundancy support, that means if an ELB somehow goes down another ELB will come alive to support the load-balancing service. If I run a single EC2 instance then how can I overcome from this situation? So, I need a solution without replacing ELB. --Nirmalya - Original Message - From: Girish Venkatachalam girishvenkatacha...@gmail.com To: ILUG-C ilugc@ae.iitm.ac.in Cc: Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [Ilugc] A serious issue of Amazon Elastic Load Balancer On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 1:05 PM, Nirmalya Lahiri nirmalyalah...@yahoo.com wrote: You have to solve the problem by using cookies and custom HTTP headers to include the original client IP address before rewriting.

[Ilugc] Private IP in Public Network
Hi everyone, today I have discover a critical network infrastructure which is almost impossible. I believe very few people have seen this before. The story is in my office we have leased internet connection with static IP from TATA Communication Ltd. In my local network I have configured network ip (192.168.7.0). So all the PC in my local network has the IP of the range 192.168.7.1 to 192.168.7.253. For a experimental purpose yesterday I have ping to 192.168.2.10... It should not return reply. But unfortunately I got reply from a host. After investigation I have found that the host is outside of my local network. Please look into the tracepath report from my local PC to that unknown host. nirmalya@nirmalya-desktop:~$ tracepath 192.168.2.10 1: nirmalya-desktop.local (192.168.7.103) 0.141ms pmtu 1500 1: 192.168.7.51 (192.168.7.51) 0.706ms 1: 192.168.7.51 (192.168.7.51) 0.700ms 2: 115.115.147.137 (115.115.147.137) 150.228ms 3: 121.240.2.54 (121.240.2.54) 188.099ms asymm 6 4: 121.240.2.57 (121.240.2.57) 175.322ms asymm 6 5: 172.25.81.133 (172.25.81.133) 176.625ms asymm 6 6: 172.29.253.34 (172.29.253.34) 208.708ms asymm 8 7: 172.31.16.193 (172.31.16.193) 186.462ms asymm 8 8: 172.31.35.138 (172.31.35.138) 206.554ms asymm 10 9: 172.31.8.134 (172.31.8.134) 226.454ms asymm 10 10: 172.25.82.62 (172.25.82.62) 206.389ms asymm 9 11: 192.168.2.10 (192.168.2.10) 217.967ms reached Resume: pmtu 1500 hops 11 back 247 In this report 192.168.7.103 is my personal PC, 192.168.7.51 is internal IP of router, 115.115.147.137 is gateway IP of our leased internet connection.

The status was reported at http://status.aws.amazon.com/. For those who maintain multiple instance in multiple region through load balancer, this type of system crash is not a big issue.
