They'll be proxy'ed w/o SSL. <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxx 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 "Axel-Stephane SMORGRAV" <Axel-Stephane.SMORGRAV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:28D87C00C6E83540A814CFAE3FA63E3F5FEF66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Definitely yes. -ascs -----Message d'origine----- De : news [mailto:news@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Zvi Kave Envoyé : lundi 7 janvier 2008 15:02 À : users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : 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 ?
