I messed around with my haproxy.cfg since I would like to differ between two servers, a cms.mydomain.org and a www.mydomain.org . Backend is a Tomcat9 server. While in a former configuration my fullchain.pem worked, haproxy suddenly doesn’t care about that certificate and the browser (FF) says I were…

If you configure haproxy to use the certificate in /etc/haproxy/fullchain.pem it will do exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less. Based on your description there is no way for us to know what may be wrong in your environment.

Yeah, but /etc/haproxy/fullchain.pem is not a self signed certificate, it’s a Letsencrypt one. It may not contain the domain that is adressed in the HTTP-request but it looks to me as though haproxy falls back to some “self signed certificate”, whatever that may be and whereever it takes it from.

Haproxy certainly does not do that. Perhaps you have a software or hardware Firewall with SSL inspection enabled between your client and the server, and because the name does not match, the Firewall replaces and intercept the certificate. Or perhaps you have an old haproxy instance running in the …

I believe, killing is not as easy, since they refork when you say killall haproxy. But I got it managed. Rebooted. :slight_smile: Interesting point, the SOREUSPORT thing. My first idea was that I was wondering about two haproxy instances being able to run on a claimed socket/port.
