Hi,

I have an SSL enabled Apache server at the front end and BEA Web logic at
the backend. Recently I have installed SSL certificate successfully and I
have redirected all http requests to https by adding the following line at
httpd.conf file,

>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R,NC]


It works smoothly, but the problem is I can't access the page that is
actually located at the back end web logic server, which is accessed using
proxy pass. If I access the pages that is on back end server using http it
works. Following is the proxy pass portion of httpd.conf file,



ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPass /topup http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/topup
ProxyPassReverse /topup http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/topup





My Goal is to forward all http requests to https. Do I really need to
install SSL Certificates on the back end server? Is there any way to
accomplish my goal without installing SSL Certificate on the back end
server?



I hope it's clear and hope to having a solution soon.

Best regards,
A.rasheed
