If you have a proxy between the client and server that rewrites HTTPS requests to HTTP requests before forwarding to the app server you need you channel-definition to specify a secure client-side channel class and URL, and an insecure server side endpoint class. So, something like:
<channel-definition id="secure-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel"> <endpoint uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> </channel-definition> Note that the endpoint class is AMFEndpoint, not SecureAMFEndpoint. Regarding the error you get when you hit the secure endpoint directly in the browser (flex.messaging.MessageException: No configured channel has an endpoint path '/messagebroker/amfsecure'...); that's odd - are you sure you didn't edit your config file without restarting?

HI All, We have a BalzeDS based web app deployed on tomcat working fine when we use HTTP. How ever when we try to expose our web app over extranet the swf files that tries to connect to the Remote Object gets timed out.. Here are the channels that are configured in the services-config.xml [CODE] <channels> <channel-definition id="my-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel"> <endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> <properties> <polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled> </properties> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-secure-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel"> <endpoint uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfsecure"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-polling-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel"> <endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfpolling"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> <properties> <polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled> <polling-interval-seconds>8</polling-interval-seconds> </properties> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-http" class="mx.messaging.channels.HTTPChannel"> <endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.HTTPEndpoint"/> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-secure-http" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureHTTPChannel"> <endpoint uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure"; class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureHTTPEndpoint"/> </channel-definition> </channels> [/CODE] And the default-channels set in remoting-config.xml and proxy-config.xml are [CODE] <default-channels> <channel ref="my-secure-amf"/> <channel ref="my-secure-http"/> <channel ref="my-amf"/> <channel ref="my-http"/> </default-channels> [/CODE] First of all do i need to enable the secure-channels ?? As the https port is not enabled in the tomcat on which this web app is deployed.. How ever there is a proxy in between which rewrites the https requests as http requests and redirects them to the tomcat.. When i add the secure channels ( amf and http) in my default-channel list and i have included the trace target in my main mxml File.. It shows that it is pinging the my-secure-amf endpoint and doesn't get any response..( i get the same when i connect using http i.e, from the intranet) Now when i remove the secure channels from my default channel list and regenerate the .swf files (i have the servlet mapping configured to regenerate them if they don't exists already..) i can connect to the web app from intranet which uses my-amf channel. How ever when i try to connect over https the trace shows it is not getting any ping response from my-amf channel.. Also when i try the following URLs from my browser i get an Error.. http://localhost:8080/myapp/messagebroker/amfsecure [ERROR] flex.messaging.MessageException: No configured channel has an endpoint path '/messagebroker/amfsecure'. flex.messaging.MessageBroker.getEndpoint(MessageBroker.java:318) flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet.service(MessageBrokerServlet.java:329) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) [/ERROR] I am getting this Error in both intranet (using HTTP) and Extranet Environments (using Https) I have read the blog posts related to this (http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/) and doing exactly as it is suggested still unable to resolve the issue..!! Thanks Mars
