Newest version is always kept in: https://apache2-ssloffload-andloadbalance.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Documentation/ (.odt and .pdf files).
Concept described in this document can be used on every OS, copy-paste to Bash is tested to work on
Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) and Debian Squeeze (6.0).

2. Description of the idea
SSL offload and balancing.
Not to repeat configuration so much, also to make logic more separated, one Apache2 binary is ran
with two different configurations:
• SSL offloader (In folder: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader) (It takes also HTTP requests from user)
• Load balancer (In folder: /etc/apache2-balancer)
Listen addresses:
• SSL offloader listens at external IP
• Load balancer listens at 127.0.0.1, only SSL offloader can send request to this address
Requests path steps (abstract example, there are more variables and headers involved):
1. Client opens connection to 80 or 443, sends HTTP request: “GET /something HTTP/1.0 \n
Host: www.example.ee \n SSL_HEADER: h2xx”
2. SSL offloader deletes SSL_HEADER and sets a new one from Apache2 env variable named
SSL_HEADER, adds client info, and with ProxyPass sends request to Load balancer:
“GET /something HTTP/1.0 \n Host: www.example.ee \n SSL_HEADER: fixed \n XForwarded-For: 123.231.123.231”
3. Load balancer sends request to correct place
4. Backend server (response to requests)
5. .. and reverse way through the chain back to the client
Using SSL offloader and Load balance proxy combination gives us following upsides and downsides:
• + you don't have to repeat configuration in both 443 or 80
• + you can have multiple different domains behind one wilcard certificate
• - logic differs from conventional Apache2 (but I see it as defining standard on top of another
standard, what makes life easier, if you have a lot of VirtualHosts)

3. SSL offloader and Load balancer
3.1 Tasks
3.1.1
SSL offloader's functional tasks
1. Take requests on ports 80 and 443 from clients, SSL VirtualHosts need to be defined in
directory: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/sites-enabled, certificates are kept in directory:
/etc/certificates-apache2.
2. Clean headers from client sent data (unset SSL_CLIENT_CERT etc); set correct headers for
backend server from env values, so backend server knows if client is authenticated. Setting
headers for backend server is done in file: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/conf.d/ssl_offload_headers
3. Default SSLVerifyClient URL-s for all the hosts is defined in file: /etc/apache2ssloffloader/conf.d/ssl_smartcard_auth_url
4. Forward request to balancer.proxy, proxy configuration is defined in file: /etc/apache2ssloffloader/mods-enabled/proxy.conf and ProxyPass has to be done in VirtualHost definition
for SSL offloader file: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/sites-enabled/name.of.site.conf
3.1.2
SSL offloader's informative tasks
1. Log requests, logging is defined in file: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/conf.d/logging
2. Show server status at http://server/ssloffloader-status, defined in file: /etc/apache2ssloffloader/conf.d/serverinfo-status
3.1.3
Load balancer's functional tasks
1. Take requests for port 80, name based virtualhosts are defined in directory: /etc/apache2balancer/sites-enabled (I'd recommend use filname format: domain.subdomain.subdomain.conf)
2. Proxy requests for correct backend node, using balancers configured in directory: /etc/apache2balancer/balancers and proxy configured in /etc/apache2-balancer/mods-enabled/proxy.conf
3.1.4
Load balancer's informative tasks
1. Log requests, logging is defined in file: /etc/apache2-balancer/conf.d/logging
2. Show server status at http://server/balancer-status, defined in file: /etc/apache2balancer/conf.d/serverinfo-status
3. Show and let configure balancers at http://server/balancer-manager, defined in file:
/etc/apache2-balancer/conf.d/serverinfo-balancermanager
3.1.5
Backend server/application's functional tasks
1. Receive request and understand if user has done smartcard authentication: for apache:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/ssl_env_values_from_headers, for weblogic (Client Cert Proxy Enabled in
Console, or “<client-cert-proxy-enabled>” in web.xml)

3.4 Configuration procedure examples
3.4.1
Add new backend servers, and domain to be SSL offloaded and load balanced.
Description of steps:
1.) * Only if you need a new VirtualHost with different certificate for that domain *, define new
SSL VirtualHost in file: /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/sitesenabled/com.anotherdomain.subdomain.conf from what ProxyPass to balancer.proxy (You don't
have to define new HTTP VirtualHost, default will take care of everything.)
2.) Define new balancer for “anotherwebservers.subnet.kit” server group in file: /etc/apache2balancer/balancers/kit.subnet.anotherwebservers.conf
3.) Create new named VirtualHost for “subdomain.anotherdomain.com” in file: /etc/apache2balancer/sites-enabled/com.anotherdomain.subdomain.conf
Steps to do:
cat > /etc/apache2-ssloffloader/sites-enabled/com.anotherdomain.subdomain.conf <<EOF

</VirtualHost>
EOF
Testing:
1. Change your hosts file and make usual HTTP(S) request (or telnet server 80\n GET /
HTTP/1.0\n Host: subdomain.anotherdomain.com)
3.4.2
Add a new VirtualHost with sticky-sessions controlled in Load Balancer (can be used for
Apache2, Tomcat, Jboss and Weblogic backends.)
Description of steps:
1. Do as in step 3.4.1 Add new backend servers, and domain to be SSL offloaded and load
balanced. but create different balancer.
2. Create proxy balancer and set route_id's for nodes.
3. Enable mod_headers, if not enabled, and set stickysession name + create rule for adding cookie
with that name and route_id, if it changes. (Route_id is taken from
stickysession_name=sometext.this_value_is_taken. )
Steps to do:
cat > /etc/apache2-balancer/balancers/kit.subnet.weblogic-app-servers__application.conf <<EOF
Header add Set-Cookie "ROUTEID=.%{BALANCER_WORKER_ROUTE}e; path=/" env=BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED
<Proxy balancer://kit.subnet.weblogic-app-servers__application>
BalancerMember http://10.0.6.136:7010 route=1
BalancerMember http://10.0.6.136:7010 route=2
ProxySet stickysession=ROUTEID
</Proxy>
EOF
Testing:
1. Order of getting correct routeid from stickysession_name is: 1.) from URL, 2.) from cookie.
That means that you can test solution by going: http://server/?ROUTEID=.change_id_to_test
and see results from https://server/balancer-manager and https://server/balancer-status
3.5 Upgrading
3.5.1
OS
Uprading from Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu Maverick to newer should be without complications and
additional steps. It will be tested, and if needed, additional steps will be added to here.
3.5.2
SSL offloader and Load balancer concept implementation
1. Backup (3.6.1 Backup)
2. Do install steps by this document's manual (3.2 Install)
13
3.6 Backup and restore
3.6.1
Backup
/etc/*apache2* (apache2-ssloffloader, apache2-balancer, certificates-apache2) must be backed up
regularly.
3.6.2
Restore
Install steps + copy apache2-ssloffloader, apache2-balancer and certificates-apache2 back up /etc
folder.
14
4. Backend server
4.1 Apache2
# Additional install
apt-get install libapache2-mod-rpaf
# Enable nessesary modules
a2enmod headers rpaf
# Edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rpaf.conf (Read more: http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/)
RPAFproxy_ips
# Create SSL env values from HTTP headers (only from SSL offloader and balancer should be requests allowed, or major security
problem)

Known problem: Currently in multiline texts newlines are replaced with spaces, because of that
SSL_*_CERT will not work.
4.2 Weblogic
Configuration for the Weblogic is the same as you would be using mod_weblogic or F5, you have to set
checkbox in Weblogic Console to Client Cert Proxy Enabled, or in deployment's weblogic.xml enable
tag client-cert-proxy-enabled.

5. Configuration recommendations/notes
5.1 Apache
1. Keep in mind, that Apache2 configuration is read linearly. (If you first do ProxyPass and then
set some headers or do some cheks, user will be already at proxyed.)
2. In configurations don't use RewriteRule /something /otherthing [QSA,P] or the webserver will
make queries to its DNS resolve, but use [QSA,PT] (passthrough, not proxy) – also using P flag
is security hole through what your internal or other websites can be attacked (it acts as
anonymous proxy).
5.2 Loadbalancing
1. Use sticky sessions if you are not certain, that your applications fully and correctly support fail
over – if one server should die, then only users from that server are directed to other server.
2. If your backendserver uses mod-itk (or for some other reason) can't handle multiple requests in
same TCP session to different virtualhosts, use session terminating for that host.
