I understand that this is effectively a man-in-the-middle attack and therefore exactly what SSL is supoosed to prevent, but I'm wondering if this sort of setup is possible to do with some certificate magic and local DNS redirection.

Stories similar to Local proxy for SSL service

I have proxy server that sits in the DMZ. The default site is running the adfs and has a certificate that is about to expire in 2 weeks. I am not sure what are steps involved in applying a new ssl certificate. I know at the least I will install the new certificate(s) in the local store.

SSL issues with puppetdb 31 weeks 3 days ago

I'm setting up Puppetdb with SSL and having issues with certificates.

I'm using Nginx as an SSL proxy for Puppet, so my CA is managed by a mongrel server on this Nginx proxy machine.

Something is disabling access to the proxy settings in IE on my (work) laptop. IE is set to use the corporate proxy, so applications that use IE's proxy settings don't work when I take the laptop home. I've removed the local group policy setting "Disable changing proxy settings" using gpedit.msc (I'm in the local Administrators group).

I have currently setup a SOCKS5 proxy by creating a SSH Tunnel on a local Ubuntu server to a Linux based VPS. I use polipo as a small proxy to pass the requests through the SOCKS5 proxy (DNS Resolution happens on the VPS side.)

Now, on the client end I use firefox and have an addon which has...

IIS JK Connector and Client IP 13 weeks 3 days ago

I have setup JK_Connector on IIS 7.5 to proxy to Jboss, all working fine.

For one Jboss app, I am using RemoteAddrValve in the context.xml to control access based on IP (only allow access to the local ip i.e.

Here's what I've got setup:

Windows Service Account with internet access A .NET application which allows setting the proxy settings

I have several servers that need to connect to a remote service. These servers are ec2 instances under my control. The remote service is run on a server managed by my company, but not my department, and I'm not sure where it is hosted.
