[users@httpd] Re: Reverse Proxy to SSL web server: configuration example

Do you mean, that I must copy the SSL crt/key files from the web
 server to the proxy server ?

If you add the config below to a vanilla httpd.conf, you'll be pretty close 
to what you are looking for. Just replace the tokens %%TOKEN%% with whatever 
value you want.


Listen %%svcb_HTTP_ADDR%%:%%HTTP_PORT%%
Listen %%svcb_HTTP_ADDR%%:%%HTTPS_PORT%%

<VirtualHost %%svcb_HTTP_ADDR%%:%%HTTPS_PORT%%>

   ServerName %%svcb_PUBLIC_NAME%%:%%HTTPS_PORT%%

   SSLCertificateFile %%X509_ROOT%%/ssl.crt/%%svcb_PUBLIC_NAME%%.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile %%X509_ROOT%%/ssl.key/%%svcb_PUBLIC_NAME%%.key
   SSLEngine on

   DocumentRoot %%SERVER_ROOT%%/htdocs/svcB

   ErrorLog %%SERVER_LOGS%%/svcB/reverse_error_log
   CustomLog %%SERVER_LOGS%%/svcB/reverse_access_log combined env=!dontlog

   ## Enter additional configuration here

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost %%svcb_HTTP_ADDR%%:%%HTTP_PORT%%>

   ServerName %%svcb_PUBLIC_NAME%%:%%HTTP_PORT%%

   DocumentRoot %%SERVER_ROOT%%/htdocs/svcB

   ErrorLog %%SERVER_LOGS%%/svcB/reverse_error_log
   CustomLog %%SERVER_LOGS%%/svcB/reverse_access_log combined env=!dontlog

Objet : [users@httpd] Reverse Proxy to SSL web server: configuration example

Dear friends,
I am trying to find the configuration for a Reverse Proxy server which has 
to work with a SSL / non-SSL web server.
Can someone send me full httpd.conf example for such thing?
I need something with probably 2 Virtual hosts for ports 80 / 443.
I hope that I have not to deal with the web server SSL crt/key.

Thanks,

Zvi

Axel,
You are right.
The only one thing I have to add to your configuration was
 (in both virtual servers):

ProxyPass  /  https://my_web_server.com/
ProxyPassReverse  /  https://my_web_server.com/

Thanks,

Zvi

You need SSLProxyEngine On ONLY if you intend to proxy to a SSL-enabled server as seems to be your case. 

However if your reverse proxy takes care of SSL termination, encrypting the backend connection may not be very useful.

Axel,

To complete all the parameters, I saw that directive SSLProxyEngine On is needed as well.(It was hiding there from previous test) So to make it clear, here are the successfull directives:
(The SSL key/crt files are copied from the web server)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@web.com
    ServerName proxy80.com
    ProxyPass / http://mywebserver.com/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://mywebserver.com/
    ErrorLog logs/error80.log
    TransferLog logs/access80.log
</VirtualHost>
# This creates a virtual host for SSL conections. They'll be proxy'ed w/o SSL.
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin admin@web.com
    ServerName proxy443.com
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPass / https://mywebserver.com/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://mywebserver.com/
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/server.key
    ErrorLog logs/ssl-error.log
    TransferLog logs/ssl-access.log
</VirtualHost>

Best regards,

Zvi
