Oracle APEX 5/ORDS using Apache reverse proxy (https) redirects to http but should be https

user8832409Feb 8 2018 — edited Feb 16 2018

Hi,

I am currently implementing an APEX 5.1.3 Using ORDS 3.0.12

Apache 2.4

Tomcat 8.5

ORDS 3.0.12

Apache as a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat (apex.war) with SSL (https) termination at Apache webserver point:

user -- https --> Apache webserver -- http --> Apache Tomcat -- jdbc --> DB

This works ok with all layers using http but with https the following problem arises:

When a user tries to access https://apex.example.com/apex/

they get a response where the URL is rewritten/directed to http://apex.example.com/apex/f?p=4550:1:1369372499054:::::

(ie http not https) which fails because Apache http server is only accepting https

Please can you advise me on:

Where is the change from https to http happening?

Is there a APEX Listener/Database configuration/setting to stop it doing it and keep https?

or configure Apache to accept http and force Apache to redirect everything to https?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received, thank you.
