Reverse proxy setup with Secure Sockets Layer
Use the configuration examples in this topic to set up a reverse proxy with SSL.
A company, www.mycompany.com, wants to act as a reverse proxy for a resource that is hosted on the secure site of internal.mycompany.com. The example configuration for www.mycompany.com follows:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName host1 SSLProxyEngine On KeyFile "c:/program files/ibm http server/clientkey.kdb" ProxyPass /ssl/password.html https://examplehost/password.html </VirtualHost>The example configuration for internal.mycompany.com follows:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEnable KeyFile "c:/program files/ibm http server/serverkey.kdb" </VirtualHost>When a browser requests http://www.mycompany.com/ssl/password.html, IBM HTTP Server makes a connection to internal.ibm.com using SSL. If internal.mycompany.com requires a client certificate, IBM HTTP Server uses the default certificate of the KeyFile for which it is configured.
