Running RH9. Can get to the do you wish to display secure and non secure items. Then it returns the error Action canceled in both frames so it appears that it starts setting up the screen for OWA but then fails.

I got Exchange 2003 and an Apache 2 frontend server providing https support. It correctly works. My configuration for the reverse proxy is configured as follows:

ServerAdmin hostmaster@my.public.company.net
ServerName owa.company.net
DocumentRoot /usr/local/htdocs
RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/server.key

ProxyPass http://exchangeSrv/exchange
ProxyPassReverse http://exchangeSrv/exchange
SSLRequireSSL

ProxyPass http://exchangeSrv/exchweb
ProxyPassReverse http://exchangeSrv/exchweb
SSLRequireSSL

ProxyPass http://exchangeSrv/public
ProxyPassReverse http://exchangeSrv/public
SSLRequireSSL

Plus in the exchangeSrv hosts file I added the ip address of the public server (owa.company.net) defined as the local ip of the reverse proxy (10.10.1.15):

10.10.1.15 owa.company.net

i use it with apache 2.0.52 (win based) and exchange 2000. in some weeks the apatche switch over to an unix server.

this lines i have added to http.conf:

SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLSessionCache none

ErrorLog logs/error.ssl.log
TransferLog logs/access.ssl.log

ServerAdmin xxx.xxx.de
ServerName xxx
DocumentRoot "xxx"
#ver?ndert http header einer Clienanfrage
RequestHeader set Front-End-Https On
#schaltet verwendung mod_proy an bzw. aus
ProxyRequests Off
#gibt den http header host weiter
ProxyPreserveHost On
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile ssl.crt/zertifikat.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile ssl.crt/zertifikat.key

# einbindung ext. informationen in den lokalen server
ProxyPass http://xxxx/
#korrigiert in verbindung mit proxypass die adressangabe innerhalb einer umleitung
ProxyPassReverse http://xxx/
#SSLRequireSSL

i don't give the 3 parts exchange, exchweb and public to single locations, because we use rsa and other things combination with owa.

you have to make shure, to load the following modules:

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

thank a lot for your help Sebastian.

regards tom
