I have downloaded Apache 2.2 and used it like a front-end proxy in HTTPS. I supposed that I could authenticate but I can't.
the result is I can see the authentication page (in the first case too) but when I try to log in it provokes the same error…

Does somebody know if it is normal I can't authenticate using a front-end Apache in HTTPS?

#edit

The certificate of Apache and the one of the LDAP are different.

With the LDP Windows command, I have seen that the connection is really in SSL, and a user have to authenticate itself with SASL. So, I check connexion to the server and user authentications with Apache Directory, openssl s_client, and with SSLPoke.

I succeed log LDAP user with this configuration :

I updated only these lines of ldap-ad-authentication.properties like this :
<blockcode>
ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldaps://SERVER.DOMAIN.local:636
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=Alfresco
</blockcode>

I remove the line I have added in Java options of the tomcat service

I added the certificate in the C:\Alfresco\al_data\keystore\ssl.trustore with this command :


C:\Alfresco\java\bin\keytool -import -storetype JCEKS -file C:\Users\al_semsamar\Documents\se-certificate.der -alias server.domain.se.local -keystore C:\Alfresco\alf_data\keystore\ssl.truststore

and I restarted Alfresco, and it works!

Thank you
