Re: Reg: Reverse Proxy in IBMi

Hi Brad,

Small correction in the example

I want to configure like this
ProxyPass / https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/
ProxyPassReverse / https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/

Before forwarding the request to the SSL enabled end point, we need to
use/validate it with an SSL certificate right?

Let's assume I got the SSL certificate for the endpoint (
https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/) and imported it into DCM. How can i tell the
reverse proxy before forwarding the request to the endpoint (
https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/) it should use/validate the SSL certificate
which is available in the DCM?

Regards,
Suren

Certificate/SSL is in the proxy, not the server you're forwarding to.

Hi Brad/Pete,

I can enable the SSL for the server which is acting as a reverse proxy,

But I am trying to configure the resource in the configuration file

which

is SSL enabled.

For example, I have taken Pete's example

I want to configure like this below

ProxyPass / https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/ <http://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/>
ProxyPassReverse / https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/ <

http://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/

In this case reverse proxy will redirect all the requests to
https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080. Since this is an SSL enabled resource (
https://xx.xx.xx.140:5080), I wanted to know where we mention the
certificate details to use?

Suren

I agree with Brad's setup. My config for Petes Workshop is like this
(my reverse proxy handles three SSL enabled sites, petesworkshop.com

is

just one of them):

<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.140:443>
ServerName www.petesworkshop.com
ServerAlias petesworkshop.com *.petesworkshop.com
SSLEngine On
SSLAppName QIBM_HTTP_SERVER_PETES
DocumentRoot /www/petes/htdocs
SSLServerCert petesworkshop
SSLProtocolDisable SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1
ProxyTimeout 300
ProxyPreserveHost on
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"
ProxyPass / http://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://xx.xx.xx.140:5080/
</VirtualHost>

Hi All,

Currently I am using Reverse proxy in IBMi which in turn redirects

the

requests into two other servers(one IBMi IWS and another one Java

Web

Service windows Server).

I created a new HTTP Server (reverse proxy server) in IBMi using

HTTP

Admin

and added the below lines in the HTTP Server Configuration file

(httpd.conf)

LoadModule proxy_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_http_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_connect_module

/QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM

LoadModule proxy_ftp_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module

/QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM

ProxyPass /test/customer http://IP:port/test/customer
ProxyPassReverse test/customer http://IP:port/test/customer

This is working fine, but when I try to configure the https url in

the

proxy it is not working.

Could you please help me out with any web page or document which

has

those

steps on how to configure ssl enabled url in the reverse proxy?

Example I am trying the below which is not working

SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPass /test/customer https://IP:port/test/customer
ProxyPassReverse test/customer https://IP:port/test/customer

Any inputs will be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Suren
