Description

The change introduced in TYPO3 4.5.16 as fix for bug #36004 makes working in backend impossible for some HTTPS reverse-proxy configurations.

It may be a misconfiguration on our end, but as far as I can see, since the change HTTPS will only work with reverse proxy, if X-Forwarded-For contains local and proxy IP and

 $['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['reverseProxyHeaderMultiValue' = "last";

Login to backend works, but then a network connections error is displayed ("Verbindungsproblem Bei dem Versuch eine Verbindung zum Server herzustellen ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Netzwerkverbindung.")

Analyzing this shows that the changed line 4151 in class.t3lib_div.php has caused this problem:

older version:

if (self::cmpIP($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $proxySSL)) {

newer version:

if (self::cmpIP(self::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR'), $proxySSL)) {

[BUGFIX] getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SSL') fails to detect reverseProxyIp

When running TYPO3 behind a reverse proxy, which also handles SSL,
the setting reverseProxySSL should check if the site is requested
from one of the reverse proxies in order to determine whether
the site is using SSL.

It incorrectly does this check via getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR') which has
already translated the proxy IP to the end-users IP, thus always
returning FALSE.

History

#1 Updated by Sybille Peters about 8 years ago

Further debugging:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : reverse-proxy ip
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : client ip
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] : off (because revere-proxy uses normal HTTP session between reverse-proxy and server)
$_SERVER['SSL_SESSION_ID] : empty

Due to this, in the code, because value of self::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR') is different from proxy, the else branch is executed and $retVal is set to FALSE.

---------------------------------------------------
case 'TYPO3_SSL':
$proxySSL = trim($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['reverseProxySSL']);
if ($proxySSL == '*') {
$proxySSL = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['reverseProxyIP'];
}
if (self::cmpIP(self::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR'), $proxySSL)) {
$retVal = TRUE;
} else {
$retVal = $_SERVER['SSL_SESSION_ID'] || !strcasecmp($_SERVER['HTTPS'], 'on') || !strcmp($_SERVER['HTTPS'], '1') ? TRUE : FALSE; // see http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=3909
}
break;

Same problem with TYPO3 4.6.9

#3 Updated by Sybille Peters about 8 years ago

Workaround: Issue can be resolved by changing configuration on server:

1) Append IP of reverse-proxy to "X-Forwarded-For" header

2) change typo3conf/localconf.php:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['reverseProxyHeaderMultiValue'] = 'last';

That would result in a wrong t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR') which is not very helpful - another (also awkward) workarround would be:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['reverseProxyHeaderMultiValue'] = 'first';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['reverseProxySSL'] = array_shift(explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], 1));
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['reverseProxyIP'] = '10.1.1.10';

Anyway, to me it's obvious that comparing the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of self::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR') with $proxyIp would be the way to go.

Issue still persists in 4.5.22

Both proposed work-arounds are crude and not to be recommendended in the long run (in my opinion).

Don't know why I set it to resolved

#8 Updated by Sybille Peters over 7 years ago

What feedback?

#9 Updated by Alexander Opitz almost 7 years ago

Hi,

this issue is very old, does it still exists with newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (4.5 or 6.1)?

#10 Updated by kelsaka no-lastname-given almost 7 years ago

For Typo3 4.5.27 the issue still exists.

#11 Updated by Sybille Peters almost 7 years ago

Reproduced with TYPO3 CMS 4.7.12 and 4.5.27.

For now, we found a configuration that works. For the future, I would not recommend using a reverse proxy with TYPO3.

#12 Updated by Alexander Opitz almost 7 years ago

Status changed from Needs Feedback to New

#13 Updated by Christian Ludwig almost 7 years ago

This bug exists in all versions of TYPO3 (4.7.12 and 6.1.1 checked).

if (self::cmpIP(self::getIndpEnv('REMOTE_ADDR'), $proxySSL)) {

should be changed to

if (self::cmpIP($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $proxySSL)) {

as it is used in case 'TYPO3_REV_PROXY':

/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php (v4.7.12 on line 3651)
/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Utility/GeneralUtility.php (v6.1.1 on line 3311)

Issues #29693 fixes it and respects HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO.

#14 Updated by Jan-Erik Revsbech almost 6 years ago

I can confirm that this is indeed a problem. I seem to have other problems when solving this, so I will dig a little further into this problem, but otherwise I will submit a patchet that fixes this.
