iNotes & Apache reverse proxy

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

I have multiple domino servers around the world and 1 apache web server as a reverse proxy to act as entry to the webmail from outside the WAN. When I browse to webmail.company.com (apache) I get presented with the Domino web login page after entering a user's credentials it passes me to the user's mail server but obviously it cannot be resolved on the Internet but does work internally. This is with the iwaredir.nsf using mail server option.

If I change the option to fixed and use http://webmail.company.com the path it then tries is http://webmail.company.com/mail/user.nsf which comes up with page cannot be displayed and this is the same if I change the option to dynamic.

I have added the code in to the AutoLogin Form with no effect and I have added the contents of the httpd.conf file below.

NameVirtualHost x.x.x.x:80

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80>

ServerName webmail.company.com

ProxyRequest Off

ProxyPass / http:// (server hosting the iwaredir.nsf)/

ProxyPassReverse / http://mailserver1.company.com/

ProxyPreserveHost On

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} MailServer=mailserver1.company.com

RewriteRule ^/((mailIiNotesIiconsIdomjava)/.*)$ http://webmail.company.com [P]

</VirtualHost>

I also have a DNS entry for mail.company.com which points to the server that hosts the iwaredir.nsf database.

If I can pick your brains and experience on this I would really appreciate it.
