Issues in ssl configuration with apache server (using reverse proxy)

Question

Hi,
I am able to use apache server as a reverse proxy to connect to Portal. When I enter the web server url as https://mywebserver.com, I am able to connect to the http url of the Portal. But the moment I try to connect to the https url of Portal with this https url, I am not able to connect to the Portal. Thus I am not able to use apache as a proxy server for https connections it makes. What must I do. I read that mod_proxy_connect needs to be used, but how do I use this?
The second problem is that I need to use more than one kind of mapping.
For example I must be redirected to the Portal even if I use http://webserver.com , or even if I use https://webserver.com or even if I use http://webserver.com/irj or https://webserver.com/irj or http://ipaddress-websserver/irj etc

Answer 1

I have SSLCertificateFile and
and SSLCertificateKeyFile .
My problem is with regard to ssl/CertificateChainFile?
what is this? Also how do I upload my J2EE Certificate into apache.
The problem is with Apache handshake is not happening.
I am forwarding the entire log during . I have put what I consider important in bold.Please have a look.
