If you really mean to proxy the request to an SSL connection, you at least need to set SSLProxyEngine ON. You may also need to set SSLCACertificatePath or SSLCACertificateFile, but I do not think it is necessary. -ascs ________________________________ From: Suzy Fynes [mailto:suzanne.fynes@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 1:35 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] reverse proxy with Apache 2.0 Hi, I'm trying to run my Web Service <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_21645323.html> through apache with a reverse proxy and I'm having trouble setting up the configuration. I set it up fine locally from a windows machine but when i try to use it on a linux server <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_21645323.html> my web <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_21645323.html> service client just isnt going anywhere, not connecting to the server at all! I have the following in my apache conf file <VirtualHost *:443> SSLEngine on SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSL <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_21645323.html> v2:+EXP SSLCertificateFile /home/Service/certs/web_server_cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/Service/certs/web_server_pk.pem ServerName beta.testing.ie ErrorLog /home/logs/reverseProxy-error CustomLog /home/logs/web_services.access_log common # # The following is sample code to allow proxification # ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass /webservices/Service/doc-literal https://localhost:9000/Service/doc-literal <https://localhost:9000/Service/doc-literal> ProxyPassReverse /webservices/Service/doc-literal https://localhost:9000/Service/doc-literal <https://localhost:9000/Service/doc-literal> </VirtualHost> The certs i want to use were created with OpenSSL and aren't authenticated for the server, is there anyway i can tell my client to just trust my OpenSSL certs without complaining???
