Setting Proxy with mod_proxy with Basic Authorization

Install mod_proxy and setup reverse proxy in Apache Webserver

Follow the given below steps.
Note: In all given below example replace the value of ServerAdmin,ServerName & ServerAlias as per your server information

Step 1: Install the module

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html

Step 2: Installing the dependency libxml2-dev

apt-get install libxml2-devStep 3: Load the module

a2enmod proxy proxy_http

Step 4: Create the Virtual Host in apache configuration file . If your configuration is located in conf.d you have to do changes in that file. I am giving example with default setting in Apache Webserver in Ubuntu

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Step 5: Following configuration allows user to access http service but it requires user to provide credentials, which is stored at /var/www/.htpasswd

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 192.168.56.102
SSLEngine off
ProxyPass /foo/ http://192.168.56.1:8280/
<Proxy *>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authenticated proxy"
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

Step 6: Accessing https services, which requires to generate key pair of wso2carbon server and store as SSLCertificateFile/SSLCertificateKeyFile

generate key pair from wso2carbon.jks

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.jks -destkeystore keystore.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12 -srcalias <jkskeyalias> -deststorepass <password> -destkeypass <password>
Export certificate.

openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nokeys -out cert.pem
Export unencrypted private key.


openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nodes -nocerts -out key.pem


Optional disabling CN check.

SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLProxyEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /home/dushan/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/dushan/key.pem


SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
