How do i enable HTTPS for Daml JSON API using Apache Reverse Proxy

Hi,
Could you please give me the steps that needs to be followed to enable HTTPS for JSON API using Apache reverse proxy?

To enable HTTPS for a JSON API using Apache reverse proxy, you can follow these steps:

1. Install an SSL/TLS certificate: First, you need to obtain an SSL/TLS certificate for your domain.

2. Configure Apache with SSL/TLS: Once you have the SSL/TLS certificate, you need to configure Apache to use it. You can do this by adding the following lines to your Apache configuration file (usually located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf):

SSLEngine on
SSLProxyEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your/private.key

Replace “/path/to/your/certificate.crt” and “/path/to/your/private.key” with the paths to your SSL/TLS certificate and private key.

1. Configure the reverse proxy: Next, you need to configure Apache to act as a reverse proxy for your JSON API. You can do this by adding the following lines to your Apache configuration file:

ProxyPass /api https://your-api-domain.com/api
ProxyPassReverse /api https://your-api-domain.com/api

Replace “https://your-api-domain.com/api” with the actual URL of your JSON API.

1. Restart Apache: Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo service apache2 restart

After completing these steps, your JSON API should now be accessible over HTTPS through your Apache reverse proxy.

Hope this helps

Thanks Chris for giving such a detail solution.
