Proxying SSL certificates to Apache via IIS

We have Apache and IIS Web servers. The Apache server has an SSL certificate from VeriSign installed. The IIS server has a self-signed SSL certificate. We want to make the SSL security alert from the self-signed certificate on the IIS server go away without having to buy another commercial SSL certificate. Can we drive all the SSL traffic through the Apache server to avoid the SSL security alerts?

The Apache modules mod_proxy and mod_rewrite can be configured so client browsers will talk to your IIS server through the Apache server. This will establish the SSL connections using the commercial SSL certificate, eliminating the browser security warning.

Add the statements

ProxyPass /mywebfolder https://iis.server.name/mywebfolder

and

ProxyPassReverse /mywebfolder https://iis.server.name/mywebfolder

to your Apache httpd.conf file, and then point a browser at https://apache.server.name/mywebfolder, to view IIS content through the Apache Web server connection.

Add the command

ProxyRequests off

to the httpd.conf file so the server will not honor proxy requests from browsers except to connect to your IIS server.
