Hi friends,
There are about 15 applications hosted on different in our infrastructure mostly running on apache/iis/tomcat. We have a frontend apache server running on Centos 4.4 64bit which make these applications accessible to outside world.
For the applications which are running on tomcat we are running jkmount to make these applications available without mentioning tomcat ports. For apache/iis applications we are using ProxyPass. The issue we are facing is that we are not able to make these applications accessible through https automatically means if the user is not from within the LAN then the http link should automatically redirected to https. We already have GoDaddy stamped ssl certificate on this apache frontend server but we are struggling for rules for outside world.
What is the best way to make these applications accessible to outside world through https connections only that is if somebody use http://xx.xx.com/xx to use the application it should be redirected to https we don't have the requirement for https connections from within the LAN but definitely for outside connections.
JkMount /team/* team JkMount /team team
Then we have rules for this in the workers.properties file
ProxyPass /public http://my.testing.com/public ProxyPassReverse /public https://my.testing.com/public
You can force to ssl by using something like this with mod_rewrite
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [R,L]
