Hi all,
I would need some support from an apache point of view to implement the solution in this article [1].
I have installed HAproxy, but I have not understood what/how to set a Virtual Host in apache (2.2.31) which would help in this situation.
In particular, I am not sure how to ensure 'X-Forwarded-Proto' is enabled and how to use it in such context.
Could someone please help me out with it please?
Thanks in advance,
giopas

What has HAproxy todo with apache? That tutorial is about SSH and HAproxy and not apache.
What are you trying to do? |

Humm, good question. 
As far as I understood from that tutorial, to accomplish that you would need HAproxy, openssh-server and Apache.
In particular, it would be necessary for Apache to support 'X-Forwarded-Proto' headers and then, I think, it would be necessary to create a Virtual Host to have a specific subdomain linked to it.
What it is also not clear to me is the fact that the article speak about port 80 and http but then it uses SSL on port 443.
It is very likely that I am missing something and I would like to understand if from Apache point of view there is something I should do or check (e.g. how to check if I have 'X-Forwarded-Proto' enabled?) or if there is nothing to do on Apache side.
Thanks JB for your support!

The difference in your solution is that you need to change proxy settings from client side. With HAproxy, as far as I have understood, all would be done at the server side.
Or I am misreading it? |
