For testing purposes, I'm using a self-signed sert on the proxy server for the initial redirection, then the proxy server acts as a SSL client for all proxied requests that are handed off to the app server which is listening on port 8050 (SSL) using a real certificate.
I copied the real cert file to the proxy server and put it in a file called cacerts.crt and added the directive shown below to the httpd.conf file: SSLProxyCACertificateFile conf/cacerts.crt In this configuration, the proxy server can be configured to be a SSL client for many sites each having their own cert. My problem is getting the proxy server configured so that mod_proxy and mod_rewrite do their job for the URLs on the app server that are below the root level and incorporate multiple levels of directories in the URL. It all works great for foor-level URL's. I hope I answered your question. Now if someone could help me answer mine... -=jeff On 9/28/06, John king <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Where is your server cert installed? If it is installed on the reverse proxy server, do you decrypte the incoming HTTPS traffic and re-encrypte it again in the proxy server before sending it to the next host?
