Guys and gals, Background - I am trying to chain together two Apache servers (server1 running Sol 9 Apache 2.0.47, server2 running Sol 9 Apache 2.0.55) for certain sites. Due to security restrictions within the customers network, I need to access the web interface of one of their appliances through the two apache proxy servers mentioned above. The scenario is: Workstation -> Apache1.custnet.com -> Apache2.custnet.com -> Appliance.custnet.com The appliance will accept the initial connection on port 80, then kick off a secure 443 session. I am able to use the following scenario successfully: Workstation -> Apache2.custnet.com -> Appliance.custnet.com >From what I can see in the error_log (LogLevel debug), for the second scenario the workstation is prompted to accept a secure connection and proceeds to login over a secure 443 session - the first scenario does not do this - it is as if the request for a secure connection is not being passed back down the chain. Relevant Configuration (changed to protect the innocent): Apache1.custnet.com (httpd.conf) ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order Deny, Allow Deny from all Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyRemote http://appliance1.custnet.com http://apache2.custnet.com Compiled in modules: core.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_include.c mod_log_config.c mod_env.c mod_setenvif.c mod_proxy.c proxy_connect.c proxy_ftp.c proxy_http.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_mime.c mod_status.c mod_autoindex.c mod_asis.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_dir.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_so.c Apache2.custnet.com (httpd.conf) ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order Deny, Allow Deny from all Allow from all </Proxy> Compiled in modules: core.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_include.c mod_log_config.c mod_env.c mod_setenvif.c mod_proxy.c proxy_connect.c proxy_ftp.c proxy_http.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_mime.c mod_status.c mod_autoindex.c mod_asis.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_dir.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_so.c What am I missing - I tried to google this scenario but can only find chained http examples. Any direction would be helpful.
