How is redirection done from 80 to 443 port ? I have HAProxy in front and need disable it.
David
Hello David,
If I understood your question correctly, then this is not possible. The ports cannot be changed in AAF, any redirection has to be done at the webserver level.
The documentation states:
IMPORTANT: For reverse proxy, you can use any port. For example, https://dnsname:888/
smartphone. A reverse proxy redirect is done from port 888 to port 443 internally to appliance.
Port 888 is used from outside, but port 443 is used inside the appliance.
Let me know if this answers your question of if you need further help. Perhaps I understood this wrong.
Thanks.

OK, I got it, SSL termination is not possible

Hello David,
I've been told you can terminate SSL in front of the appliance and re-encrypt from your network device to the appliance by means of a WAF. This will work for most methods. However, doing so adds complexity and it can be argued it reduces security.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
