Hi All,I'm using reverse proxy to forward request to my internal apache server, which is working fine.Here is my configuration on front apache server: ProxyRequests Off ProxyPassInterpolateEnv On ProxyPass /someapp http://internal_server/someapp interpolate ProxyPassReverse /someapp http://internal_server/someapp interpolate I want to access the CGI environment variables on my backend servers.Actually I want to setup a shibboleth environment my Shibboleth Service provider is running on my front end apache server and shibboleth protected application on internal server. After authentication Server provider set some attributes on front end server's environment and I want those attributes to be accessible to my application running on backend apache server. So is it possible to forward some environment variable from front server to backend servers and if yes then how?Thanks in advance
I use to set HTTP headers in the configuration file of the proxy/load balancer:
RequestHeader set X-HTTPS On All the requests to the SSL virtualhost will have an HTTP header X-HTTPS: On This header can be verified in the back-end server/application. In order to use this directive, you need to load the module mod_headers.
