Haproxy setup help
-
Ok so add the redirect 'action' as in my screenshot ? I think that should fix the redirect part.
As a minor observation i'm wondering about for example 'email' and 'support' are using different acl's matches v.s. contains is that intentional? should othersubdomain.support.mydomain.com also be send to the same backend as support.mydomain.com ?
You passing https straight to the backend, and using transparent-client-ip, should work.. and i assume you have read the warning, and understand it can cause some issues.. (it might bite you later when you want to connect another way and cant seem to get it working, the 'transparent-client-ip' might be the culprit..) Though there arn't really much other options for some backends.. Just saying ;)
-
when I add the second bit and try to save and apply, I get the following error :
Errors found while starting haproxy
[ALERT] 299/234604 (87967) : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:39] : error detected in frontend 'Loki-merged' while parsing 'http-request redirect' rule : expects 'code', 'prefix', 'location', 'scheme', 'set-cookie', 'clear-cookie', 'drop-query' or 'append-slash' (was 'Support').

In regards to the email and support, if i got it correctly, i have a different backend for each url as they go to different servers. Then I have one https frontend and sub frontend that share the primary https front end. If there is a better more efficient way to do it please advise as I am very new to haproxy and this is a learning curve for me .
Cheers for all the help though.

http-request redirect See below httpsredirect
rule: Support
For a simple https redirect the 'rule' should be:
scheme https
no more no less :)

yep error gone :-)

The usage of multiple backends and acl's is good. And it will probably work OK.
The question i got was for example about these acl's:
acl OWA req.ssl_sni -i email.mydomain.com acl Support req.ssl_sni -m sub -i support.mydomain.com
Where email is using an 'exact match', the other for support is checking if the it is 'part of' the requested domain. I would expect a little that you would use "Server Name Indication TLS extension matches:" for all those acl expression's, and not have a few with "Server Name Indication TLS extension contains:".
If it would look like this it would probably be a little better, though probably it wouldnt make much of a difference :)..
acl OWA req.ssl_sni -i email.mydomain.com acl Support req.ssl_sni -i support.mydomain.com

Is there a way to get a log of ips of live connections to the webservers please?
-
The dashboard widget has the ability to show currently connected clients..
But best is probably to run a syslog server on the network and let haproxy send its syslog messages there. On the settings tab og haproxy package you can fill in the syslog server to send the udp traffic to. -
Hi PiBA,
I have exchange running behind haproxy fine and just added a new server with a new domain and vlan and that works well for webinterface but not for connecting the phones. Email box is Iredmail. If I redirect all https traffic direct to that Iredmail box then the phone will connect from external but as soon as i put haproxy in the mix I get stuck. Could you advise please?

Whats the config, what requests are send, why does your application not work? As i'm not using Iredmail and you haven't included much info about requests/configs/errors/logs there ain't much i can advice..
-
Hi Piba,
I am new to it myself so I do not know much. The maintenainer of the project for Iredmail said just to open port 443. If i point port 443 direct to the the Iredmail server, the phone works but when I put HAproxy back in the mix then it does not work. There is not much in the logs for sogo also :-(
-
ok might have made some progress. installed a syslog and changed HAproxxy to log everything. When I try to connect the phone from external this is what syslog shows me as error:

The "<nosrv>" looks like it might be a problem. It usually means the request does not match the acl's used for the use_backend action. Can you share the haproxy.cfg file from bottom of settings tab?</nosrv>
-
will send you in a pm in a few min
-
Could you try configuring the Iredmail backend as the default backend?
Also afaik a SNIvalue will never contain a 'path' like /owa it might contain a portnumber though.. So add a acl for both mailer.example.com and mailer.example.com:443 also try capturingnthe phone requests in a wireshark capture, the ssl connection packetshould show if/what sni value is send.
-
Cheers for that by changing the default to of the Iredmail frontend, the backend bit from default to Iredmail did the trick. Thanks so much for all the help. I am going to change the owa part now and see what happens
-
Just send you a new pm with the new change. Would you suggest doing the same with the other front ends?
Cheers,
Rajbps

Ok so with the 'default backend' set it works, that confirms the problem was with the requests not matching the acl checks and because of that ending up at <nosrv>.
A frontend as configured in haproxy.cfg can effectively only have 1 "default_backend" so no you should not set the default on each 'shared frontend', as available in the webgui. So best would be to figure out why the acl was not matched..
If the phones dont send SNI information another workaround could be to 'decrypt/offload' ssl traffic on haproxy preferably with a wildcard certificate to allow haproxy to read the host header in the http request to choose a backend.. Or ofcourse keep it like it is now.. with only the the frontend thats for the phones having a default.</nosrv>

Hi PiBa,
Sorry to post on this ols post. You assisted me before and hopefully you can assist again. I have an iphone and its been working fine. I added an android today and it does not register with exchange. I done a bit of digging and believe that the issue is haproxy. I can see the following in syslog. Message: x.x.x.x:20655 [13/Jun/2017:20:49:43.498] HTTPS-merged majesty_https_ipvANY/ <nosrv>-1/-1/0 0 SC 1/0/0/0/0 0/0
I will send you the haproxy.cfg file in a pm if that`s ok. Could you assist please.Cheers,
Rajbps</nosrv>
