First off let me say I am an Apache newbie and I found the documentation and examples very confusing. Anyway, here is what I need to do. I have an IIS server (www.external.com) in the DMZ running ISAPI Rewrite to reverse proxy to an Apache/Tomcat server (www.internal.com) that is inside the local network. Communications between the 2 servers is HTTPS. The Apache/Tomcat server should create a cookie on the client PC but in this configuration the cookie is not created. If I remove SSL the cookie is created but it has the name of the internal server which would not be a valid name on the internet.
I have seen several posts about using mod_proxy but I'm not sure if that would work in this scenario. The Apache server is running version 2.0.59. I also do not have access to the source code of the Tomcat application that creates the cookie. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work?
