Apache reverse proxy to SharePoint 2013

Apache reverse proxy to SharePoint 2013


1. Introduction:

In this tutorial, we will setup a reverse proxy Apache in front end connecting to a SharePoint server 2013.
Let's assume we have this environment configuration:

SharePoint server: 
  • Local IP address: 192.168.137.21
  • Server Name: srvsharepoint
  • SharePoint site collection: http://srvsharepoint/
SharePoint web application is created on port 80. SharePoint site collection is created under the root.

Apache server:
  • Local IP address: 192.168.137.22
  • Public IP address: 52.174.6.110
  • Domain name: webadmin.net
  • Server name: srvweb
  • OS: CentOS 7
 2. Configure Apache:

 In CentOS server, we need to set the server names in hosts


 Install Apache server

#yum install httpd -y


 Start Apache:

#service httpd start
#chkconfig httpd on

Verify Apache



Go to the Apache config directory and create proxy.conf

#vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy.conf 


<IfModule mod_proxy.c>

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 4096

<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://srvsharepoint/
ProxyPassReverse / http://srvsharepoint/

<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>



 Save proxy.conf

 Restart Apache

 Now Apache is configured as a reverse proxy.

3. Configure SharePoint Server:

Log to Central Administration, go to System Settings - Configure alternate access mapping

Select Alternate Access Mapping Collection SharePoint -80 the Add Internal URLs


in URL, host and port, enter the domain name and select zone internet


Save

4. Verification:

Open Internet Explorer and type the domain name

  4. Many thanks! Most helpful tutorial I found in the internet to this matter.

    Especially the parameter

    ProxyPreserveHost On

    is needed otherwise the layout-Links are only LOCAL in the frontend so that external users are not able to reach the content and most websites dont show content.

    For SSL-Proxy (https) it seems there a some very good tutorials in the "sharepointfarm". I will test it soon.
