Hi there,
I am running into a problem with the UTM setup i currently have with the Web Server Security module in the UTM.
Reference:
Here's my setup for reference :
Internet -------> UTM9 ---------> LAN Network
It's pretty straight forward i only have 1 WAN address en behind the Astaro i run a simple /26 subnet. The UTM has a simple home license as it is my personal test environment.
On this LAN network there is an Apache server configured with virtual hosts, Apache is configured correct and working. So i wanted to try out the Web Server Security Module on how well it would cope.
The Problem :
When i create a "new" real server in the module, i bind it straight to the IP the server has and i create a Virtual Webserver where i bind a SUBdomain to the actual server with the advanced security profile and make the relation between this virtual server and the real webserver.
So far so good, but here comes the catch when i browse the subdomain it will always land in the default "webpage" of the server, and it doesn't seem to recognize the Virtual Host.
I have tested by checking both options once in the virtual webserver " Pass Post Header" and "rewrite html url" ( or something currently not able to check and reach the UTM from here ).
Work Around & Tests :
We can conclude the following :
- There is connectivity trough the UTM from the Internet ===> Webserver
- When turning off WSS and creating a NAT setup to NAT all http traffic straight to the real webserver the virtual hosts work perfectly fine.
But what did you try yourself then ?
When in the preferred setup with WSS is tied to map a DNS static entry with the exact name as the virtual host to the internal ip address, which didn't work. So since i spend the majority of the night figuring this out and since it works in a NAT setup i decide to post it here also and kinda hoping for similar situations ( Maybe a bug ?????? ) but it will most likely end up with a simple solution that i have overlooked :).
If you made it this far thanks for reading.
