<html><head></head><body>I have to say that I'm likely clueless on exactly how this pound and varnish would work, but here's a simple idea that should work<br>
<br>
main pound and varnish runs on port 80<br>
and connects to apache on port 8080<br>
<br>
ssl pound and varnish runs on 443<br>
and connects to apache on 8081<br>
<br>
you should be able to preserve the ssl chain this way. <br>
<br>
most applications can work like this using multiple reverse proxy style setups (they need to rewrite the URL requests<br>
<br>
if this part works the next step should be to set an ssl URL inside drupal sites/default/config<br>
<br>
hopefully that helps, feel free to get in touch directly if you want our help more. <br>
<br>
ps. why not drop to another caching server and use something more versatile?<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Hi,<br /><br />I have an uncommon environment,I am using pound and varnish in front<br />of Apache (thanks to former site in Plone).<br /><br />I want to have all the authentication/log in run through SSL.<br />Securepage module cannot do, because it detects that the Apache server<br />is not ding SSL. I tried to enable securepage by hand in settings.php<br />but it resulted in a loop: I am afraid securepage is too intelligent<br />and doing too much testing rather than simply changing from http to<br />https.<br /><br />Any idea how I can solve my problem (beside rewritting any <form that<br />deals with user login)?<br /><br />Eventually, pages displayed with https do not load the CSS. I could do<br />with some help on that too. You could see that at<br /><a href="https://www.cs.ait.ac.th/drupal7">https://www.cs.ait.ac.th/drupal7</a>/<br /><br />I apologize if my questions are naive, but it'd my first day at Drupal.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br
/>Olivier</pre></body></html>
