Trouble accessing app server with SSL enabled on HTTP server
|
|
|
| Config:
There is 2.0.47.1 HTTP server (machine name barney) and a Websphere 5.1 (machine name p830) with application deployed.
With no SSL, I can access http://barney/<appname> (e.g. /snoop or /hello) and connect without problem.
I am trying to configure SSL on the HTTP Server only. So, traffic between browser and HTTP server is SSL and between HTTP Server and App Server is non-SSL.
When I enable SSL on the HTTP Server, I cannot access any apps on the app server. I can access the http server (e.g. https://barney), but not https://barney/Workplace.
In the error.log file, I see, "[error] [client 192.168.240.50] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/IBM HTTP Server 2.0/htdocs/en_US/Workplace"
C:/Program Files/IBM HTTP Server 2.0/htdocs/en_US is the defined documentroot in httpd.conf.
For some reason, when SSL is enabled on the HTTP Server, it no longer knows to forward requests to the App Server and instead assumes they are local.
I have added port 443 to the host aliases of the virtual host on the app server and updated and copied the plugin-cfg.xml file.
Any idea why enabling SSL prevents access to the App Server?

| I suggest changing the log setting in the plugin from error to trace, and
then checking the http_plugin.log file for more details.
Hope this helps,
CharlyOz.

If you have not modifed the "default_host" virtual host in WAS, check
the host aliases and add an entry (host name is * and port is 443) for
SSL based url. Save and thn restart IHS.
