https redirect problem

Gateway

I'm trying to access djigzo web gui via apache on port 9080

Here's the relevant lines in apache config:

<VirtualHost *:9080>
ProxyRequests Off
...
ProxyPass /djigzo http://localhost:8080/djigzo
ProxyPassReverse /djigzo http://localhost:8080/djigzo
ProxyPass /web http://localhost:8080/web
ProxyPassReverse /web http://localhost:8080/web

I'm able to initially connect to https://serverip:9080/djigzo with no problems. But after I put in the username/password, it redirects to http instead of staying https as the original request is. When I try to access djigzo on port 8080 which is the default tomcat 6 port it works with no problems. In previous version of ciphermail (djigzo) accessing djigzo via https on port 9080 worked with no problems.

I would appreciate some assistance on this.

Thanks a lot

Below the message I sent to you about a year ago on how to configure a
reverse proxy. Could it be you forgot to set djigzo.https.all=false ?

You should tell djigzo not to require HTPPS. This can be done by setting
the Java property djigzo.https.all to false:

djigzo.https.all=false

I cannot test it right now. You can try to add the following line to
tomcat config (to file /etc/default/tomcat6)

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Ddjigzo.https.all=false"

Then restart Tomcat. Tomcat should now allow you to connect to port 8080
(without the above setting, it would always redirect to 8443). If
connecting to 8080 works you should be able to use the reverse proxy

I haven't tested it but I think it should be something like:

ProxyPass /djigzo http://localhost:8080/djigzo
ProxyPassReverse /djigzo http://localhost:8080/djigzo

you should make sure that Apache does all the HTTPS stuff"

You are absolutely correct. I remember that conversation and I had it in my notes and it was one of very first things I did. Here's the relevant info from my /etc/default/tomcat6 file:

unset LC_ALL
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Ddjigzo-web.home=/usr/share/djigzo-web"
#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M"
TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Ddjigzo.https.all=false"

The reason I didn't mention it is because the problem seems to be quite the opposite. It's not trying to redirect to https. In this case, after I initially connect via https and log in it tries to redirect back to http on port 8080.

I just tested it with Tomcat 7 and Apache 2.4 and it works without any
problem. Perhaps your Apache is not correctly configured to send the
correct proxy headers?
