Configure multiple SSL certificates in Haproxy

  • 772

My haproxy instance serves 2 domains (mostly to avoid XSS on the main site).

The rules look something like this

bind :443 ssl crt /etc/ssl/haproxy.pem

acl is_static   hdr_end(Host) -i example.com
acl is_api      hdr_end(Host) -i api.example.com
acl is_files    hdr_end(Host) -i example.io

redirect scheme https if !{ ssl_fc } is_static is_api

Now SSL uses /etc/ssl/haproxy.pem as the default cert, which is the certificate for example.com and not example.io.

How can I specify certs for multiple domain names?

    You can concatenate all your certificates into files say haproxy1.pem and haproxy2.pem or you can specify a directory containing all your pem files. 

    cat cert1.pem key1.pem > haproxy1.pem 
cat cert2.pem key2.pem > haproxy2.pem

    As per the haproxy docs

    Then on the config use something like this:

    defaults
  log 127.0.0.1 local0
  option tcplog

frontend ft_test
  mode http
  bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /certs/haproxy1.pem crt /certs/haproxy2.pem 
  use_backend bk_cert1 if { ssl_fc_sni my.example.com } # content switching based on SNI
  use_backend bk_cert2 if { ssl_fc_sni my.example.org } # content switching based on SNI

backend bk_cert1
  mode http
  server srv1 <ip-address2>:80

backend bk_cert2
  mode http
  server srv2 <ip-address3>:80

    Read more about SNI

    Keep in mind that SSL support is in development staging for haproxy and also that it apparently has considerable performance hit.

    There are other solutions talked about in this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10684484/haproxy-with-multiple-https-sites

    Hope this helps.

  2. No need to concat or specify a list of certificates anymore, just specify a folder:

    frontend public
    bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/ssl/

    Note: make sure the folder isn't empty and valid PEM files are present, otherwise HAProxy will not run.

  3. maybe you could check this too:

    /etc/ssl/private/crt-list.txt:

    /etc/ssl/private/mydomain.pem
/etc/ssl/private/myotherdomain.pem

    haproxy.cfg:

    frontend https-in:
  bind *:443 ssl crt-list /etc/ssl/private/crt-list.txt
