After posting this in the forum , I did an extensive research on the internet and it was resolved. Major problem was due to the Virtual host configuration..Now i am able to use the SSL at the apache level. wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:443 is a NameVirtualHost default server gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:362) port 443 namevhost gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:362) port 443 namevhost gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:376) *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:332) port 80 namevhost gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:332) port 80 namevhost gelxd002.sony.com.sg (/home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:343) I need your help in some configuration ideas. I m trying to setup something like the below. Client <---SSL---> Apache <---HTTP---> WebLogic I request http://<hostname>/OPSWeb/neo from the browser and it goes to the login page and I am able to perform all the functions. When I request https://<hostname>/OPSWeb/neo , it doesnt give a login page, but it gives a pop-up in IE "Access is Denied. Type Error" As stated earlier, I need to have HTTPS between the browser and the web server and HTTP between the Apache and Weblogic. Also there is no SSL enabled at the Weblogic level. Do we have to write some ProxyReverse Parameters/Rewrite rules. Let me know if you need any further details. Please advise.

Apache knows where to find its cert if you give SSLCertificateFile the correct value. Krist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bremgarten b.
