Apache reverse proxy to OWA and SSL certificates.

[blakey2]

Hi All,

I am trying to reverse proxy my OWA (exchange 2003) using SSL. {NB: I had it working fine with HTTP.}

Apache is running on Linux in the DMZ.

I have created a SSL certificate (and key) using openssl. To do this I followed this article:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/284

This is installed (virtual host directive) on the linux box.

My OWA server sits on the internal LAN.

I created my own SSL certificate for that too, following this article:

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Creating-Certificate-OWA2003-SelfSSL.html

I can access the site fine internally (not using the reverse proxy) but externally I get an error:

[b]Internal Server Error[/b]
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, its@mydomain.com.au and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e Server at webmail.mydomain.com.au Port 443

I don't understand how apache negotiates(?) the SSL connection with the IIS/OWA server.

Am I supposed to install the same certificate on both apache and IIS??

All help/suggestions/knowledge is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks - Chris.
