Reverse proxy your https traffic

ade_adekoyaJun 14 2017 — edited Jun 19 2017

Hello

I am trying to make a request to a webservice using apex_web_service.make_rest_request and receive error ORA-28857: Unknown SSL error.

I am using a local install of OracleXE on Windows7, with wallet entry for the website certificates.

I understand this is due to Oracle database 11.2.0.2 lack of support to SSL certificates signed with SHA-256 or newer. See Blog post :

https://blog.hazrulnizam.com/openssl-workaround-oracle-xe-wallet/

To fix this  I would like to use the reverse proxy my  https traffic to http method.

After installing Apache2.4, I amended the http.conf with :

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

SSLProxyEngine on

ProxyPass /mendeley https://api.mendeley.com

ProxyPassReverse /mendeley https://api.mendeley.com

Unfortunately this did not work.

Can you please help with the exact entries in my Apache config to perform reverse proxy, to  :

       - perform reverse proxy for website https://api.mendeley.com

    - install mod_ssl (with default options) and “ProxyRequests Off”

Kind Regards

Ade
