WSO2 BAM behind reverse proxy using Apache HTTP Server

When you deploy WSO2 BAM in production, you often need to deploy it behind a proxy server or load balancer. We will see how to configure BAM behind Apache HTTP Server as reverse proxy.

Apache HTTP Server Configuration

• Install and configure Apache HTTP server
  
• Enable following modules using a2enmod
• Run the following command
• Create a certificate and a key for Apache HTTP server. You will use these when you define a new virtual host
• Add the following entries to your */etc/hosts* file
• Create a virtual host like below. You can add this to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf file
• Restart Apache HTTP server

 

BAM Configuration

• Uncomment and modify both HostName and MgtHostName in $BAM_HOME/repository/carbon.xml
• Uncomment and modify ProxyContextPath in $BAM_HOME/repository/carbon.xml

Now you should be able access the BAM using following URLs
