Hello, I am trying to use apache as a proxy to pass requests to a https backend like this: <VirtualHost *:443> SSLProxyEngine on ProxyPass /service/ https://backend.do.main:4434/service ProxyPassReverse /service/ https://backend.do.main:4434/service ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /service/ ProxyHTMLURLMap https://backend.do.main:4434/service /service <Location /service/> SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 SetEnv proxy-sendcl ProxyHTMLEnable On ProxyHTMLExtended On LogLevel Debug ProxyHTMLURLMap https://backend.do.main:4434/service/service/ RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding AuthName "Application /service" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /m/b/httpd/passwd AuthGroupFile /m/b/httpd/group Require group service SSLRequireSSL RequestHeader set Authorization "Basic 123456778" RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO 'https' </Location> </VirtualHost> This works fine for http backends, but with https, I get following errors: [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690065 2023] [proxy:debug] [pid 2259] mod_proxy.c(1245): [client 109.43.178.5:13845] AH01143: Running scheme https handler (attempt 0) [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690076 2023] [proxy:debug] [pid 2259] proxy_util.c(2216): [client 109.43.178.5:13845] AH00944: connecting https://backend.do.main:4434/service/ to backend.do.main:4434 [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690119 2023] [proxy:debug] [pid 2259] proxy_util.c(2425): [client 109.43.178.5:13845] AH00947: connected /service/ to backend.do.main:4434 [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690559 2023] [ssl:info] [pid 2259] [remote 192.168.1.106:4434] AH01964: Connection to child 0 established (server lw.strangled.net:443) [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690666 2023] [ssl:error] [pid 2259] [remote 192.168.1.106:4434] AH01962: Unable to create a new SSL connection from the SSL context [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690700 2023] [ssl:error] [pid 2259] SSL Library Error: error:140BA0C3:SSL routines:SSL_new:null ssl ctx [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690749 2023] [proxy:error] [pid 2259] (103)Software caused connection abort: [client 109.43.178.5:13845] AH01084: pass request body failed to 192.168.1.106:4434 (vdr2.wolf.lan) [Thu May 25 13:34:04.690783 2023] [proxy_http:error] [pid 2259] [client 109.43.178.5:13845] AH01097: pass request body failed to 192.168.1.106:4434 (vdr2.wolf.lan) from 109.43.178.5 () I guess, the reason for this problem might be that the backend server uses a self signed certificate created like this: openssl req \ -new -newkey rsa:4096 \ -subj /C=DE/CN=backend \ -addext subjectAltName=DNS:backend.do.main \ -addext certificatePolicies=1.2.3.4 \ -x509 -nodes \ -days 3650 \ -out server-cert.pem \ -keyout server-key.pem \ I tried disable certificate check by addin following options, but the did not help: SSLProxyVerify none SSLProxyCheckPeerCN Off SSLProxyCheckPeerName Off SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire Off Any ideas what might be wrong with my configuration? How could I explicitly install the backend certificate as "trusted"? I tried SSLProxyMachineCertificatePath, but also without success. -- Josef Wolf jw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
