      Hi all,

      I've been searching all around forums and doc but can't solve my problem.

      I have installed and configured reverse proxy with squid3.

      So I can access 3 differents Centos Servers by their URL (prod.mydomain.com, dev.mydomain.com, etc..). I have installed a Signed (Trusted ??) SSL Certificate on one of them and everything fine from local network (pfSense is a Virtual Machine on an ESXi) .

      But when I try to connect from internet the Signed Certificate is not recognized, my browser ask for exception with a generic certificate.

      If I try manually via openssl command "openssl s_client -connect www.mydomain.com:443" I get :

      Verify return code: 18 (self signed certificate)

      I thought understand I should put certificate files directly in pfSense ?? If Yes I didn't understand how .

      Any help appreciated.
      Thanks and sorry for my poor english…
      Nicolas

        Morning Everybody

        In France we say "La nuit porte conseil" that looks like "sleep on it"…

        Here is what I did :

        Installed pfSense on an VmWare Esxi to be able to use many servers with a single internet address.

        THANKS to http://blog.romant.net/technology/configuring-nat-on-esx-and-esxi/

        Installed and configured squid3 package in pfSense as I can access 3 differents Centos servers in my virtual network by their URLs

        Transfered a Windows trusted certificate in pfSense to avoid users to get "Exception message" in their browsers ;

        THANKS to http://digfound.blogspot.fr/2012/06/reverse-proxy-ssl-with-pfsense-inc-owa.html

        Regards
        Nicolas
