Invalid virtual host reference while deploying in prod environment

[anil603607]

I am trying to implement the two way ssl authentication with trial account but getting errors even after mentioned all parameters in virtual host.

Please help me to resolve this issue

I am using trial account and using secure virtual host to implement mutual authentication but getting errors.

 <VirtualHost name="secure">
            <HostAliases>
                <HostAlias>anil603607-eval-prod.apigee.net</HostAlias>
            </HostAliases>
            <Interfaces/>
            <ListenOptions/>
            <Port>443</Port>
            <Properties/>
            <RetryOptions/>
            <SSLInfo>
                <ClientAuthEnabled>false</ClientAuthEnabled>
                <Enabled>true</Enabled>
                <IgnoreValidationErrors>false</IgnoreValidationErrors>
                <KeyAlias>freetrial</KeyAlias>
                <KeyStore>ref://freetrialref</KeyStore>
            </SSLInfo>
            <Properties>
     <Property name="ssl_protocols">TLSv1.2</Property> 
        <Property name="ssl_ciphers">HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!DH+3DES:!kEDH</Property>
            </Properties>
        </VirtualHost>

"Invalid Virtual host reference" tells me that your API Proxy endpoint is pointing to a vhost that is not valid.

There are two things to check

• the name of the vhost (or vhosts) specified in the proxy endpoint
• the existence of that vhost in the environment to which you are trying to deploy

You showed a VirtualHost definition. That is not so useful. The question is, does it exist in the environment?

You also showed a screenshot of what looks like... a virtualhost definition jammed into your proxy endpoint. That's not where it goes.

This is what the proxy endpoint is supposed to look like:

<ProxyEndpoint name="endpoint1">
  <Description>Proxy Endpoint 1</Description>
  <HTTPProxyConnection>
    <BasePath>/headertest</BasePath>
    <Properties/>
    <VirtualHost>secure</VirtualHost>
  </HTTPProxyConnection>
  ...

Note- the value inside the VirtualHost element is a NAME. That is the only thing allowed there. A NAME of a vhost. I have shown a name of "secure" in this example.

Elsewhere, you must insure that the named vhost exists. Do this by surfing to https://apigee.com/organizations/YOUR_ORG_NAME/vhosts in the Apigee Admin UI.

This is probably https://apigee.com/organizations/anil603607-eval-prod/vhosts in your case.

From the resulting screen, select the appropriate environment. Prod or test.

Select the vhost and you can alter or edit it. Or you can define a new one.

Or, you can perform these edit / create operations via the documented Administrative API.

Bottom line: The full details of the vhost definition do not belong in the proxy endpoint.
