I have the following in my nginx reverse proxy:

server {
    listen 8443 ssl http2;
    server_name mail.domain.com;

    include /etc/nginx/error.conf;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass https://<internal ip of mail server>/;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        client_max_body_size 0;
        proxy_connect_timeout 3600;
        proxy_send_timeout 3600;
        proxy_read_timeout 3600;
        send_timeout 3600;
    }
}

In my mailserver.cfg the following:

<variable name="UseProxiedInfo">1</variable>
<variable name="TrustedProxyAddressGroup">proxy</variable>

And:

<listitem>
  <variable name="Name">proxy</variable>
  <variable name="Value"><nginx ip>/255.255.255.0</variable>
  <variable name="Enabled">1</variable>
  <variable name="Desc"></variable>
  <variable name="Guid">a0ad4250-dcfc-4a76-9336-c6f30df362c1</variable>
  <variable name="GroupGuid">b3b9b745-d659-4cdf-a5a4-069de171d899</variable>
</listitem>

But my security log keeps displaying: [17/Jun/2021 08:01:22] HTTP/WebMail: User <non existing user> doesn't exist. Attempt from IP address 127.0.0.1.

What else should I do? I'm running Kerio 9.3.1.

Hi

It looks like it could be an internal user as the IP is the localhost, and most likely the password for the user has changed. If you are not aware of the user, I recommend opening a ticket with support so they can investigate further.

Hi,
In security tab, you don't see original IP.
Only in debug tab like this:

[17/Jun/2021 08:57:54][19960] {https} HTTP connection from 172.16.xx.xx:46934 started
[17/Jun/2021 08:57:54][19960] {https} Original client IP address (which is plainly connected to proxy): 5.xx.xx.xx

The first line is with the proxy ip and the second with real ip.
It will be best if real ip will seen in every tabs ... Kerio please, can you add the function in security tab and live connections dashboard ??

Strange, I don't see the login attempt in de debug log. So basically for now there is nothing I can do about it?

hi,
my (basic knowledge) guess..
i think you need to activate it, otherwise it has only standard output.

go to debug log, right click in the log window, select "Messages.."
and here you have to find the right options to activate.

I don't view these forums as often as I used to so I apologize for the late reply.

I have been publishing a guide to reverse proxy for Kerio for many years which may provide some help.

It is focused on a Mac acting as the reverse proxy using macOS built-in or macOS server apache.

You can find it here: https://www.precursor.ca/rais/#Tutorials
