Hello,

When I enable "ProxyProtocol" in Apache2.4, our PRTG SSL Certificate sensor fails with the following: Failed to establish secure connection [Step 0] Error connecting with SSL. EOF was observed that violates the protocol

No other apps, browser nor clientsoftware seem to complain about this change in the Apache config - why does the PRTG fail?

Hello,

from the doc https://roadrunner2.github.io/mod-proxy-protocol/mod_proxy_protocol.html you are not supposed to connect directly to an Apache port using the proxy_protocol so are your other users connecting to this Apache port or are they (as they should) connecting to Haproxy instead ? And is your prtg sensor connecting to Haproxy too or to the Apache port that should be normally blocked by firewall?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, our knowledge about Proxy Settings in an Apache Webserver is rather restricted. But could you check what gpfr has mentioned?

Best regards.

Hello

Yes, GPFR is right. When using ProxyProtocol one cannot connect to the apache webservice thru anything but the haproxy, so the "error" makes perfect sense. I was wrong about client software not failing, my testing had been improper.

Thanks,
