Thank you Jonathan. Your explanations were very helpful and the link to "NameBasedSSLVHosts" also. I will now evaluate the two scenarios. Teminate SSL in NGINX and forward http to the backend servers or use HAProxy. Did I understood correctly that when I use HAProxy I do not have to terminate SSL at HAProxy server? SSL will then be terminated at the backend servers? zugerby zuger - Nginx Mailing List - English
Thank you for the quick answer. I will be a little more precise. I would like to forward https requests to different backend server based on the hostname header, e.g. https://machine1.domain.com should be forwarded to https://10.0.0.1 and https://machine2.domain.com to https://10.0.0.2. You mentioned something like a tcp port forwarder. Is this tcp port forwarding part of the NGINX configurby zuger - Nginx Mailing List - English
Hello, I would like to use NGINX as a reverse proxy and pass https requests to a back-end server without having to install certificates on the NGINX reverse proxy because the backend servers are already set up to handle https requests. How would the configuration look like for this purpose? Thank youby zuger - Nginx Mailing List - English
