Secure.wikimedia.org
From Wikitech
Two services are serviced at this address:
- SSL secured access to WMF projects like wikipedia, wiktionary, etc
- OTRS
Wiki proxying
bart runs Apache 2.2, with an SSL interface for secure.wikimedia.org. Hits to this interface are proxied to the internal load balancer for our Apaches, on apache.pmtpa.wmnet, which serve the backend requests just like unencrypted hits.
Configuration
Running a custom-compiled Apache 2.2 in /usr/local/apache22
- OTRS runs directly on bart.
- Wikis are proxied.
- Additionally, nagios, mail, noc, and planet may still be run out of this server on the port 80 o_O
