Description Ingo Steuwer univentionstaff 2017-05-03 09:58:15 CEST 
Beside the configuration of the univention-proxy.conf (see Bug #44524), the behaviour of the univention portal site is not "reverse proxy friendly". In my tests trying to access a UCS server with an "internal only" FQDN using from the internet using a reverse proxy or port forwarding, I ended in a loop error in firefox (too many redirects).
Comment 1 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-05-03 11:25:38 CEST 
I cannot reproduce this.
I set up a reverse proxy with the following configuration on my local computer:

Listen 90
<VirtualHost *:90>
ProxyPass / http://xen3.school.local/
</VirtualHost>

and accessed http://localhost:90/ via firefox.
The portal and UMC works without problems.

Re-tested with UCS 4.2 Errata 139, no re-direct loops anymore.
