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

Relevant config files...

  • wikimedia-ssl.conf -> the main SSL and proxy defs
  • ssl-redir.conf -> redirects for port 80 access to secure.wikimedia.org, ticket.wikimedia.org
  • mail.conf -> ??
  • nagios.conf ??
  • noc.conf ??
  • planet.conf -> planet.wikimedia.org
  • wikimedia-ssl-backend.conf on all apaches

Proxy defs:

<Proxy *>
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /otrs !
ProxyPass /otrs-2.1.3 !
ProxyPass /otrs-web !
ProxyPass / http://apaches.pmtpa.wmnet/
ProxyVia On
