Setting Up HTTPS Connections

HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) connections can be established between P9000 Replication Manager and
the Business Continuity Manager agent to improve security. To establish HTTPS connections between
P9000 Replication Manager and the Business Continuity Manager agent, IBM HTTP Server is
required as a reverse proxy server. A reverse proxy server uses HTTPS to receive requests from
P9000 Replication Manager, and then uses HTTP to send those requests to the Business Continuity
Manager agent, which is the origin server. In addition, basic access authentication can be used
to authorize P9000 Replication Manager.
A configuration example for HTTPS connections between P9000 Replication Manager and IBM
HTTP Server follows.
Description of Directive, and Values to Be Specified
Specify this directive so that the cache function for requests directed to the
Business Continuity Manager agent is disabled.
Specify this directive to disable the KeepAlive function.
Specify a standby port in IPv6 as shown below. The port number can be
changed:
Listen [::]:80
Add the following modules to the list so that the reverse proxy function will
be enabled:
proxy_module modules/mod_
proxy.so proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
Specify the following options to set up Business Continuity Manager agent
to act as the origin server for P9000 Replication Manager:
The host name or IPv4 address of the host that is running Business
Continuity Manager agent
The port number that was specified for the PORT parameter when
initially setting up Business Continuity Manager agent
ProxyPass /
http://host-name-or-IPv4-address:port-number/
ProxyPassReverse /
http://host-name-or-IPv4-address:port-number/
This directive is used to specify how long to wait before issuing a timeout.
Specify a value greater than the timeout values of P9000 Replication
Manager
(bcmif.socketTimeout).
