[users@httpd] SSL headers through proxy

[Luiz Gustavo Anflor Pereira <lu...@procergs.rs.gov.br>]

 
 
 Hello all
 
 I am trying to pass the cliente certificate through an apache configured with mod_ssl, mod-proxy and mod_headers.
 
 The idea is the client being autenticated in the apache server, but the certificate being available to the backend server, something like this:
 
 client <==> apache server (mod_proxy) <==> backend server
 
 I need the client certificate in the backend server. All connectios are SSL/HTTPS.
 
 I have tried all this configurations, but none worked.
 
 #RequestHeader set SSL_CLIENT_CERT "%{SSL_CLIENT_CERT}e" env=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
 #RequestHeader set SSL_CLIENT_M_SERIAL "%{SSL_CLIENT_M_SERIAL}e" env=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
 #RequestHeader set SSL_CLIENT_I_DN "%{SSL_CLIENT_I_DN}e"
 #Header add  SSL_CLIENT_CERT "%{SSL_CLIENT_CERT}e" env=SSL_CLIENT_CERT
 #Header add  SSL_CLIENT_I_DN "%{SSL_CLIENT_I_DN}e" env=SSL_CLIENT_I_DN
 
 ProxyPass               /js      https://.....
 ProxyPassReverse        /js      https://....
 
 If you could help me i would thank you so much... :-)

You don't say what version of Apache you are using. Hopefully, you are 
using at least Apache 2.0.52, because what you want to accomplish can't 
really be done with earlier versions. You do want to use mod_headers and 
mod_proxy (sort of), but what you are missing is mod_rewrite. The 
following is a snippet that you can place in a <VirtualHost> that should 
get you what you need:

     RewriteEngine on

     # Get the SSL Client cert data, if present, and store in a temporary
     # environment variabe, after we store it a RewriteCond backreference
     # and then add it as a header for the proxy request

     RewriteCond %{SSL:SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY} (.*)
     RewriteRule .* - [E=SSLC_ON:%1]
     RequestHeader add X-SSL-Client-On %{SSLC_ON}e

     RewriteCond %{SSL:SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN} (.*)
     RewriteRule .* - [E=SSLC_NAME:%1]
     RequestHeader add X-SSL-Client-Name %{SSLC_NAME}e

     # mod_rewite proxy request, uses a loopback to diff port on same server
     RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1 [P,L]
