Reverse proxy with Outlook web access

Ian_Dobson · October 26, 2007, 5:21pm

Hi, I’m trying to reverse proxy an outlook web access server running
http only and I’m having a bit of difficulty, it seems to go to the
correct location but keeps failing on the username/password part.

Does anyone have this working successfully, I’d love to see the
configuration for it. Thanks.

Could you make debug log:

./configure --with-debug …

nginx.conf:

error_log /path/to/log debug;

?

Be careful, your username/password encoded in base64 may be in debug log
if server uses Basic Authorization. Use some temporary password.

Well now I’m getting somewhere, its working I switched it all over to
https since everything I read tells me I should.

However if I’m understanding it correctly I’m not doing yhos the best
way, here is my working config, what should I do differently?

Oh and thanks for all your help, the list archives realy helped me.

server {
listen 443;
server_name external.domain.com;

ssl                  on;
ssl_certificate      cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;
ssl_session_timeout  5m;

location / {
proxy_set_header        Host $host;
proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass              https://internal.domain.com;

}

}
