Reverse proxy HTTPS with Apache

By admin | August 23, 2013

The procedure is mostly similar to the procedure with regular HTTP, but there are a few gimmicks involved here:

  1. Generate a self-signed one or purchase a SSL certificate (*.crt) for the server in question.
  2. Make sure you run ‘sudo a2enmod ssl‘ to enable SSL.
  3. Make sure you have enable the proxy module with ‘sudo a2enmod proxy‘ as well.

Below is a sample reverse HTTPS proxy configuration.

<VirtualHost *:443>
    <Proxy *>
     Order Deny,Allow
     Allow from all
    </Proxy>

 SSLEngine On
 SSLProxyEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/cert/server.crt <!-- path to your certifcate and key -->
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/cert/server.key
 SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
 SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
 SSLProxyCheckPeerName off

 ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyPass / https://192.168.42.3/
 ProxyPassReverse / https://192.168.42.3/
 ProxyPreserveHost On
</VirtualHost>

Replace 192.168.42.3 with the internal IP address of your server, as before (keep the http(s):// portion).
