Hi,

I'd like to utilize my webhoster's "ssl-proxy" in order to access the admin-pages of Silverstripe, but

e.g. instead of

redirecting from

https://ssl-mySSLproxy.com/mysite.com/admin

to

https://ssl-mySSLproxy.com/mysite.com/Security/Login

Silverstripe redirects to

https://ssl-mySSLproxy.com/Security/Login

which gives an error, of course;

Director::set_environment_type('live')
is set in _config.php

I had a try on Director::protocolAndHost(), because I've found that I may use $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'], but that just ensures that Silverstripe gets the URLs for CSS/JS right, the redirecting still fails ( without this patch SS sometimes would try to load .css-files from the SSL-Proxy ...).

Any hints welcome ...

Back again: I am far away from a solution. My quick and dirty patch somehow breaks the session cookie (after a login with the correct user/password I am dumped back to the login page, and no cookie is set at all).

That cookie should be set to the hostname of the SSL-proxyserver, wading through the code ...

Finally I'd rather not change the core of SS, there must be s.th. similar to that approach below that I used several times for drupal 6 installations:

http://drupal.org/node/339552

took another road. I've set Director::protocolAndHost back to its original form and this into _config.php:

if ( ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] ) ) && ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] == "ssl-myproxy.com") ) {
Director::setBaseUrl('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] . '/www.mysite.com/');
}

This fixes redirecting (to Security/Login), but
login into the CMS isn't working yet, after a login I am redirected to the login page ...

Hi,

I am very interested if you were able to get this working, as I would like to implement something similar for my SS hosted web sites.

Thanks!
