I have several webservers on the internal network hosting different services for employees. Some of these webservers are available from the internet, but are not protected with ssl. I just recently bought a SSL certificate that I have implemented on a new webserver.
The plan is to use this webserver as a remote proxy, so that all my webservers use SSL through this server. I have installed URL Rewrite and Application Request Routing on the new IIS server, and created one inbound rule. Connecting to the new server, i get
redirected to the other webserver, and the HTTPS shows that the SSL encryption is ok. But when I log in to the webservice running on the server behind the remote proxy, the url changes from https://proxyserver/service/ to http://oldurl/service/. I guess that
this is because there is no outbound rule? I have tried several rules, but cannot get it to work. Can someone please help me with the rules? What i basically want to do, is to have one webserver as a frontend server with SSL enabled, and using URL rewrite
and ARR as reverse proxy to enable SSL on the other webservers on the local network.
I guess that this is because there is no outbound rule?
Hi,
Not outbound rule, it's inbound rule. You will need to create a rule forwarding requests to content server via SSL.
For more information, you can refer to the following article(focus on the second situation)
