Hi,
Are you using TYPO3 on shared web space of a web hoster who provides
encrypted access to your website(s) via a SSL proxy? You might be
interested to encrypt your TYPO3 backend communication through this SSL
proxy. If you ever tried to access the TYPO3 backend via a SSL proxy you
might have noticed that it's not working.
I spent some time on this issue and changed some coding in
class.t3lib_div.php. Now I am able to use my TYPO3 backend via the SSL
proxy quite normally. After I was nearly finished I posted on TYPO3-dev
about it [1] and learned that some other nice people from the TYPO3
community had already worked on this problem long ago and submitted
patches for it at the bugtracker. But the patches haven't been approved
yet and didn't make it into the TYPO3 core. The reason for this might be
that some reverse proxy specific environmental variables involved are
not documented properly on the web. Or maybe it's just that not
everybody has a SSL proxy available to test the changes. Anyway: I
thought it would be at the time to do something about it again.
Last week I started to write a tutorial [2] on this topic to provide my
solution for testing on different environments. I would like to invite
those of you who are interested in a secure backend access to have a
look at my tutorial, to test the provided code there and to give me some
feedback so that we can improve the solution together.
Thank you!
Henning
