I have some issues with the reverse proxy configuration of IIS.
My goal is to catch every request to the IIS with the following
pattern:"https://myfancyserver.loc/mais/#path=/mail" and forward this to another server.
Is this possible ?

I'd like to have a reverse HTTPS proxy that CANNOT decrypt proxied traffic (ie an HTTPS passthrough/tunnel). The idea is to run this proxy on a VPS and point a domain to it, allowing for the IP address of the origin server to remain unexposed while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
Is this possible? I could probably proxy requests without difficulty since the destination address in that direction is fixed, but proxying responses seems problematic given that the proxy would be unable to read the client IP within an encrypted response.
A potential solution is to have the origin server package the encrypted response and destination address in a request made to the proxy, but I am unsure as to how I might generate the encrypted request without sending it (using node.js, which is the application running on the origin server).
From your question, I got that you want to listen to requests from your VPC server and pass the request to your other server which has to remain unexposed.
This can be configured with the web server which you are using for proxy ( considering AWS allows port forwarding from a VPN server to non-VPN server ).
I prefer doing this with Nginx as it is easy, open-source with less code and more functionality.
There is a concept of load balancing which does the same as you mentioned above.
steps :
Install Nginx and keep it active.
Create a new configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
write the below code with modifications:
http {
upstream myapp1 {
server srv1.example.com;
server srv2.example.com;
server srv3.example.com;
}
server {
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_pass http://myapp1;
}
}
}
and at the place of srv1.example.com and srv2.example.com add the domain to which you want to redirect requests
Save the file and restart the Nginx
Boom!! it should redirect all incoming requests to your application.
I created a reverse/forward proxy rule in IIS so that it rewrites all requests from maps.mysite.com to localhost:8080.
This sort of works. But for some reason it doesn't seem to take the port it should rewrite to into account.
If I goto: maps.mysite.com:8080 then I get the correct page.
But if I goto: maps.mysite.com, then it doesn't work. This gives me a 500 Internal Server Error.
I configured the proxy like this.
Why isn't it working when I leave out the port number?
This question has been asked awhile ago but I am not sure it fits my needs so I want to explain my usage.
First warn, I am a noob.
We have an nginx reverse proxy with a cert. It directs to another nginx app server without a cert (internal communications don't need to be over https). Basically want to off load from https to http internally.
How do we configure it so we hit the app server on port 80? It still appears to be hitting the app server on 443. Getting an ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID error. I assume that it is being thrown by the app server.
In proxy.conf we have set:
proxy_pass http://<app server ip address>
You don't want to redirect, you want to proxy.
It sounds like the certificate on the nginx proxy server is not correct. Specifically that the certificate and the domain don't match
location /some/path/ {
proxy_pass http://www.example.com/link/;
}

I'm trying to setup Application Request Routing (v2.5) on my Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5.
So far I got this:
IIS 7.5 running two sites
www.domain1.com
test.domain1.com
IIS 7.5 with a webfarm called My-Farm with one server: test.domain1.com
Apache Tomcat running some server on www.domain1.com:10000
I'm able to route requests coming to www.domain1.com to the webfarm but I don't see any result coming from test.domain1.com?
I also tried changing servers at step 2 above to localhost or www.domain1.com:10000 or localhost:10000 but whatever I do the requests aren't proxied.
Am I setting ARR up correctly?
In ARR, when hosting the sites locally in the same server as ARR, I tend to split the public facing sites (receiving the requests) from the proxied sites.
In your case your could have something like this:
IIS:
- Site 1 (binding: test.domain1.com:80)
- Site 2 - proxied (binding: 127.0.0.1:22001)
Rewrite Rule
- Match All
- {HTTP_HOST} matches test.domain1.com
- {SERVER_PORT} does not match 22001
- Action: Route to Far
This way, requests arriving to Site 1 are routed to Site 2 when requesting test.domain1.com. The port change and the rule avoid ARR routing requests to site 2 again.
I have this IIS7.5 with ARR installed on and configured as a reverse proxy to another server which is running IIS7.
On this IIS7.5 I have ASP.NET 4 applications and simple websites installed.
Since configuring a farm on this IIS7.5 running it as a reversed proxy, the local application doesn't run with this error message:
502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.
Will it be possible to run both local application and routing (reverse proxy) on this IIS7.5 at the same time or should I give up and move the applications to other servers?
Application request routing operates as a server-wide URL-rewriter.
This means that it captures all traffic coming to a box.
You can still host an IIS website on the same box, but you need to make sure that ARR leaves the requests for this site alone.
I set this up so that the ARR rule, while still remaining a wildcard *, I make sure that part of the match conditions is for requests to my local site to be left alone.
There are a number of conditions you can use to create a does not match rule.
Ive used:
{HTTP_HOSTNAME} if you are just doing HTTP requests and just want certain domain names to be left alone.
{SERVER_PORT} if you're hosting an SSL site and are the only one on the box.
{LOCAL_ADDR} if your site sits on a dedicated IP address.
many more.... really you just need to set up rules that exclude your locally hosted website.
