hello,
I have a question about the way to have an SSL certificate on reverse proxy which redirects connections to two different servers (a web server and a webmail) that both will be using SSL encryption. I would like to know first if i can do that with the reverse proxy. I would like to know secondly if I can use one certificate or do I have to get two certificates one for each end server.
Thank you, |

Yes, you can do this with Apache 2.x:
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass / https://internal.server/
ProxyPassReverse / https://internal.server/
The internal servers don't need official, CN-correct certificates, so you could use either self-generated certificates or use the certificate from the reverse proxy. |
