Configure Apache to use the WildFly SSL port

The Bitnami package for WildFly can be configured to proxy HTTPS to WildFly SSL port. To do this, follow the steps below:

  • Modify the Apache configuration file for WildFly at /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/wildfly-https-vhost.conf, and ensure it contains the configuration below.

      <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443 _default_:443>
    ServerAlias *
    SSLProxyVerify none
    SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
    ProxyPass / https://localhost:8443/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:8443/
    <Location /console>
      Require local
      ErrorDocument 403 "For security reasons, Administration Console will be only available if you access it using 127.0.0.1 (localhost)"
    </Location>
  </VirtualHost>

    The example above disables the ProxyVerify and ProxyCheck options because a dummy keystore is in use. If you have certificates provided by a Certificate Authority (CA), those options may be ignored.

  • Restart the server to load the new configuration.

      $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
