Can you try adding the following Apache directive setting it to none:  SSLProxyVerify none

Thanks,

Subject: [EXT]  Apache 2.4.25 (Debian Stretch 9.11) reverse proxy load balancing

Hi.

I am trying to set up reverse proxy load balancing using Apache.

I've read https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html and https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html and https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_hcheck.html

What I want to achieve is:

HTTPS connection to my load balancer (which has an appropriate SSL certificate for its own URL) forwarding requests on to (currently two) HTTPS back-end servers (each of which also has an appropriate SSL certificate for its distinct URL).

I can get things working fine if I use HTTP for the "proxy to backend"
connection.

As soon as I use HTTPS, I get "All workers are in error state".

Here is my (sanitised) configuration:

--------
ProxyHCExpr ok200 {%{REQUEST_STATUS} =~ /^200/}

<Proxy balancer://url.mydomain.net>
    BalancerMember https://first.server.net route=first.server.net hcmethod=GET hcuri=/isalive hcexpr=ok200 hcinterval=10
    BalancerMember https://second.server.net route=second.server.net hcmethod=GET hcuri=/isalive hcexpr=ok200 hcinterval=10
    ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
</Proxy>

<VirtualHost 198.51.100.222:443>
    ServerName url.mydomain.net
    SSLEngine On
    SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/url.mydomain.net.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/url.mydomain.net.key
    ProxyPass / balancer://url.mydomain.net/
    ProxyPassReverse / balancer://url.mydomain.net/ </VirtualHost>
--------


What happens is that every 10 seconds I get the following entries in
/var/log/apache2/error.log:

[Fri Sep 13 02:50:07.600652 2019] [ssl:error] [pid 8628:tid 140240740148992] [remote 203.0.113.223:443] AH01961: SSL Proxy requested for
my.local.host.name:80 but not enabled [Hint: SSLProxyEngine] [Fri Sep 13 02:50:07.600703 2019] [proxy:error] [pid 8628:tid 140240740148992]
AH00961: HCOH: failed to enable ssl support for 203.0.13.223:443
(first.server.net)

Plus the same thing for second.server.net

Now, I can see the "Hint: SSLProxyEngine", but I already have that in my VirtualHost definition, so I don't know what this hint is trying to hint at.

What I also do not understand is the "SSL Proxy requested for my.local.host.name:80" part.  I have completely disabled port 80 on this machine.  Apache is not listening on port 80, I do not need to use standard HTTP, and a packet capture shows that nothing is being sent to, or received on, port 80, anywhere.


If I change the BalancerMember URLs to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, the backend workers become available and I can proxy requests to them, but this is not how the eventual system is required to work.  I have to point at HTTPS-only backend servers.


So, what am I doing wrong, and/or what do I need to change in order to get BalancerMembers using HTTPS to become available for use?


Happy to supply any further details needed if people ask.


Thanks,


Antony.
