I am new to mitm.
https://mitmproxy.org/
AppServer1 (A windows 2016 server) has our IIS website application (WebApp1) running (its running fine without any problems currently).
I have added an SSL certificate as well, and it is loading fine without any issues.Chrome shows that it is trusted ("Connection is secure" when navigating from inside and outside AppServer1 server but "within the LAN". So far we havnt allowed access to internet users as of yet until the app is completely ready.)
We have a business requirement where
we need to intercept all traffic/requests from users from outide AppServer1
and send them to another application that we created (UserRequestDashboardApp),
and ALSO we need mitm to send it to WebApp1 as well.
I have read the articles multiple times and from what I understand, reverse proxy mode is the correct option to for our requirement.
WebApp1 is running on url - customappservice1.com, port - 443
I then started mitm (version 4.0.4) with the following CMD command
.\mitmdump -p 8080 --mode reverse:https://customappservice1.com
I get the status proxy server listening at http://*:8080
I dont seem to see any traffic in the terminal when I type customappservice1.com on AppServer1 chrome browser or any server browser outside AppServer1.
The WebApp1 pages load fine from outside and inside AppServer1 server but no traffic at all on the terminal
Can anyone please help me to capture the traffic on the terminal as an initial step before sending the traffic/requests to UserRequestDashboardApp AND WebApp1?
I have tried running mitm normally and it works fine(I can see traffic/requests fine in the terminal)
I launched mitm in CMD (It says Proxy Server listening at http://*:8080)
I set the
Windows server proxy to = localhost
Port = 8080
Did you try configuring your requests to use the mitmproxy's address ?
Also, web browsers may have use a separate proxy configuration from the operating system's. So you may try configuring Chrome's proxy settings.

I'm trying to upgrade a websocket connection ws:// to wss:// using a nginx reverse proxy https://github.com/nicokaiser/nginx-websocket-proxy/blob/master/simple-wss.conf
but I seem to be having trouble with the certificate part. My server is located on the same network as the client. So Ideally I would want my users to log in to "https://example.com" and then the client makes a connection to "wss://192.168.1.xxx:xxxx".
As of now the browsers are blocking it because of NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. I don't really know to produce a self signed certificate that the browsers will trust on the local network. Googling only gives me answers on how to do it if my server would be accessed using a domain name but I will always connect to a local network IP. Help is appreciated!
To anyone coming across this I managed to solve it using this post outlining the architecture https://support.plex.tv/articles/206225077-how-to-use-secure-server-connections/
What ended up happening was that we set up a url pointing to a server running nginx which parsed the subdomain and redirected the connection to that url. For example: wss://192-168-1-142.mydomain.com redirects to ws://192.168.1.142 which makes the browser trust the connection
Does this work?
Your post is a year old now and browsers have become stricter since then. Usually, a browser will produce 'mixed content' errors if you access HTTP content from a HTTPS page, and the only way to get round this is to change the site settings to allow insecure content, which is scary for users in the face of a big warning message.
If accessing an HTTPS web address redirects to an HTTP local IP address, won't the browser still complain about mixed content?
I have a similar situation to you. I am writing a Progressive Web Application (PWA) to control network music players on a home network. The players only support HTTP but a PWA requires HTTPS for services workers to work and to allow the app to be 'installed'.
My solution is to run a local server on the home network which can talk to the players over HTTP. Then I can access this server over HTTPS from my browser so that the browser itself is not making any HTTP calls.
This works fine if the server is on localhost because localhost is a special case where security rules are relaxed. But if the server is on another machine, how can I create an SSL certificate since (1) it seems that local IP addresses are not allowed in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) section of the certificate, and (2) I won't know in advance what the IP address of the server will be.
If your workaround works, then the local server can use HTTP instead so I won't need a certificate. The local server can register itself with a web server, and then the browser can connect over HTTPS to the web server, which would redirect to the IP address of the local server over HTTP.
But does this trick work?
I am using asp.net5 web project hosted in console app.
It works fine on localhost, but when i try to access this website form different machine like http://192.168.1.5:5432 etc., i get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
I was trying several arouches like chaning localhost to machine name but none of them works.
hosting.ini file:
server=Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener
server.urls=http://localhost:5432
Is there any solution for this problem, or hosting in console app is only made for development purposes
Because you have bound your listener to localhost it will only accept connections to (and from) localhost. localhost is special here as it will (at least for Kestrel) always bind to localhost/loopback interface. Everything other than localhost binds to all network interfaces.
If you want it to be reachable by all IPs and be host/domain agnostic, you have to use http://0.0.0.0:5432 (or alternatively http://*:5432). If you do http://www.example.com:5432, then it will be reachable from all IPs but only if the host name was typed in the browser so http://192.168.1.5:5432 still won't work (unable to test the last one right now, but * wild card url should still work).
This way you can run multiple asp.net core applications on the same server but but with different hosts/domains.
You can also run two applications on the same domain and same port, if you bind them to different endpoints.
For example http://www.example.com/App1 and http://www.example.com/App2, use same port and same domain but different endpoints and two applications.
Edit
Addition information for windows users. You may have to add an exception to the change the local security settings to allow dnx to bind to this port/host (or run it as Admin which would be discouraged), especially when using host and low-numbered ports (80 and 443 respectively).
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0:80
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:80/ user=Example\Username
This will allow applications for the user "Username" in the domain "Example" to start listening on port 80.
We are trying to setup the Worklight Server for production, which is behind a reverse proxy that will help manage the SSL certificate.
What this means is that, when the user hit the domain, say https://mydomain.com:443, the proxy will automatically forward the request to the Worklight Server on port 9080.
After the setup is done for the reverse proxy following this guide, the installers.html page is working well. However we notice that when we try to access the console using https://mydomain.com:443/appcenterconsole, the user gets redirect to http://mydomain.com:9080/appcenterconsole/console.html instead and this is causing problem.
I searched around and found this link Worklight Console redirects to port 9080, which is similar to the problem i'm having. Is there a way for me to configure the Websphere Liberty Profile so that it will use the reverse proxy URL as the redirection URL?
I notice also that the index.html file in the appcenterconsole.war is using the meta refresh method to do the redirection. I'm tempted to change it to use a full URL, but then i also notice that the same issue happens when we go to the login.html and perform login. (Whereby after login, the page redirects the user with the 9080 port as well).
Any pointers or idea are welcomes. The Worklight version used is 6.1.
Thank you.
EDIT
The network setup in my environment:
Proxy Gateway (with SSL cert) configured to connect to Worklight Server for port 9080 whenever a connection with port 80 or 443 is received. Therefore:
https://mydomain.com:443/appcenterconsole -> will be mapped to http://worklightserver:9080/appcenterconsole
The mapping is done internally between the proxy and the worklight server.
When we type the full URL on the browser, ie. https://mydomain.com:443/appcenterconsole/console.html after i login, the console works fine.
Have you set up the JNDI entries detailed here?

I have a IBM HTTP Web Server setup as a reverse proxy for a WebSphere application server. We use Oracle Access Manager for user authentication. There is also a Oracle Webgate running on the IHS server to intercept the requests and check them against the Oracle policy.
I can see the authentication going through and Oracle passes back the value needed in an HTTP Header, OAM_REMOTE_USER. The problem is, at some point in the process, that header is not passed on to the WebSphere Application Server.
The Oracle Webgate is monitoring port 8443, but I am not understanding if that means for the Web Server or the App Server since both are on the same physical machine and have the same server name. If I just create a virtual host on the Web Server for 8443 and do not create the port on the App Server, the headers are going through correctly. The problem with this is that I have to use PreserveProxyHeader for the request to go through the WebGate 8443 port, so after authentication it comes back looking for my Application on port 8443, which does not exist on the Web Server. The only way it can find my application on port 8443 is if I also add a port on the App server for that port, which contains the application.
I guess the main thing I am struggling to understand is if I need to define the port Webgate monitors on the HTTP Server and App Server, or if it should only be on the HTTP Server side. It seems like no matter what I do, at some point the request gets redirected from the HTTP Server to the App Server and strips out any OAM HTTP headers that were there. I've managed to prevent them from dropping by removing the 8443 port from the app server, but now my app cannot be mapped to.
This is WebSphere App Server 8.0 and IBM HTTP Server 8.0.0.5.
In the administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > Web servers > web_server_name > Plug-in properties > Request routing. Disable "Remove special headers". Regenerate your plugin configuration XML, and redistribute it.
I'm using windows server 2008 & IIS 7.0 to deploy the my vb.net 3.5 application.
I'm successfully able to run the URL on my server.
Same URL having IP address & port number configured is not working on client system.
It is showing IE default error message as "page cannot display"
Thanks
A couple of things to do:
Try it in something other than IE - Or at the very least turn off IE "Friendly http error messages" as they obscure the real problem (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced)
Make sure the IIS website is bound to all IP Addresses not just 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
Make sure the windows firewall / other firewalls in use are configured to allow incoming traffic on port 80 through (assuming you're using port 80)
Check the event logs - If it's a coding problem, the error message is usually dumped in there
If the client system is on a different network, make sure that all your firewalls/routers are set up to allow the appropriate traffic through
Some more information which would help us:
Where (in network terms) is the client you mention? same network?
What happen if you use the full URL the client's using from a browser on the server?
When you say it works on your server, is that the VS development server? or the same server the client is using?
