Cannot configure proxyPass for glassfish admin console

I've got the following situation.

There is an apache 2.2 server and glassfish 3.1.2 running behind it. All requests to port 80 are redirected to glassfish server through mod_proxy.

This is what I wrote in the httpd.conf:

ProxyPass / http://some_server:8080
ProxyPassReverse / http://some_server:8080

where some_server is the the domain name of my server.

It works fine and I can see that the requests to port 80 are redirected to glassfish instance.

The problem is that I need to setup similar thing for accessing the admin console of the glassfish. The reason is that the port 4848 is closed from external access and as far as I understand I can solve this problem using mod_proxy. This is what I tried to do:

ProxyPass /admin http://some_server:4848
ProxyPassReverse /admin http://some_server:4848

But it doesn't work. It redirects to the login page of the admin console but nothing is displayed.

Any ideas how I can solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

Admin console works under secure connection.

You probably need to add this to your apache virtual server config:

    SSLEngine on
    SSLProxyEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile your_cert_file
    SSLCertificateKeyFile your_cert_key_file
    SSLCertificateChainFile your_authority_cert_file

Hope it helps!
