Hi,

I am creating a websocket connection to server using "wss" protocol from client. I have configured apache as proxy(mod proxy and mod_proxy_wstunnel.so module is enabled in Apache httpd.conf file) to my tomcat server. In apache VirtualHost for port 443 is created.Attached is Apache httpd.conf file for reference.Tomcat connector for ssl is mentioned below. I am getting response status code 403 Forbidden for websocket request sent from client using "wss" protocol. The same set-up works fine using "ws" protocol websocket connection on port 80 of apache proxied to port 8080 of tomcat.I assume that SSL handshake is failing in this scenario. Please suggest the solution.
Tomcat version:-9.0.0.M13
Apache version:- 2.4.23

======in Tomcat Server.xml connector configuration on port 443======
Code:
<Connector port="8443" SSLEnabled="true" 
              scheme="https" secure="true"
              clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
           SSLCertificateFile="\conf\certificate.pem" SSLCertificateKeyFile="\conf\privkey.pem" />




===================sample websocket code for request creation From client ==================
Code:
 this.websocket = new WebSocket("wss://localhost:443/NG/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler/");
   
      this.websocket.onopen =  (evt) => {
          this.websocket.send("Hello Nishant");
      };
//nmsgServletApp:--> is my application name which is deployed in tomcat
//wsHandler:--> is the server side websocket handler mapping name
//NG:--> Proxy token for web-application deployed in Tomcat


====================Apache virtual port configuration for request proxy to tomcat===================================
Code:
<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLCertificateFile ../certificate.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile ../privkey.pem
    ServerAdmin abc@localhost.com
    ServerName "localhost"
    SSLEngine on
    SSLProxyEngine on
    SecRuleEngine On
    ProxyRequests Off
/*Below is Proxy configuration for above web-application deployed in Tomcat */

    ProxyPass /NG/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler wss://localhost:8443/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler
    ProxyPassReverse /NG/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler wss://localhost:8443/nmsgServletApp/wsHandler 
    ProxyPass /NG https://localhost:8443/
    ProxyPassReverse /NG https://localhost:8443/

/*Below is Proxy configuration for another application deployed in another server*/

    ProxyPass / https://localhost:49101/ retry=10
    ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:49101/   

 <Proxy *>
        ProxyPreserveHost Off
        Order deny,allow
   deny from all
        Allow from all
        SetOutputFilter   DEFLATE
    </Proxy>
  </VirtualHost>

==================================================================

Please let me know if some more info is required or my description of the problem is not clear.Please guide..

Thanks,
Nishant
