[opencms-dev] Problem with internal redirecting and SSL

[Jan Meier]

Hello Corsin,

Not really, but I think the problem was that the redirect from apache to 
tomcat was not via SSL, I added this lines to the apache configuration:

SSLProxyEngine on
SSLProxyVerify none
ProxyPass              /                    https://localhost:8443/
ProxyPassReverse  /                    https://localhost:8443/

That should fix the redirection problem but I can not access the workplace 
anymore, firefox shows a redirection error (Too many redirects).

Any suggestions?

Regards
Jan
