Is SSL to the proxy good enough?
- by Josh Smeaton
We are currently trying to decide on how best to do SSL traffic in our environment. We have an externally facing Apache proxy server that is responsible for directing all traffic into our environment. It is also doing the SSL work for the majority of our servers.
There are one or two IIS servers in particular that are doing their own SSL, but they are also behind the proxy.
I'm wondering, is SSL to the proxy good enough? It would mean that traffic within our network is identifiable, but is that such a big deal?
