The :index:`proxy pass` feature is useful when you want to access internal sites from the outside network.
Proxy pass configuration must be done via command line.
Before proceed, make sure nethserver-httpd package in installed:
yum install -y nethserver-httpd
Scenario:
- |product| is the firewall of your LAN
- You have a domain http://mydomain.com
- You would like http://mydomain.com/mysite to forward to the internal server (internal IP: 192.168.2.100)
Commands for this example:
db proxypass set mysite ProxyPass db proxypass setprop mysite Target http://192.168.2.100 db proxypass setprop mysite Description "My internal server" db proxypass setprop mysite HTTP on db proxypass setprop mysite HTTPS on signal-event nethserver-httpd-update
You can also restrict the access to a list of IPs:
db proxypass setprop mysite ValidFrom 88.88.00.0/24,78.22.33.44 signal-event nethserver-httpd-update
If this is not enough, you can always manually create your own proxy pass by creating a new file inside :file:`/etc/httpd/conf.d/` directory.
Example
Create :file:`/etc/httpd/conf.d/myproxypass.conf` file with this content:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPass /owa https://myserver.exchange.org/
ProxyPassReverse /owa https://myserver.exchange.org/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.org
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.10.1.10/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.10.1.10/
</VirtualHost>
