 |  
| 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>

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

 Nishant
