Tyk Connection Issue

dmtroll · July 19, 2016, 11:02pm

Hi all, when I have SSL disabled on the Gateway Tyk is proxying requests as expected and connects without issues. However when SSL is enabled it is returning “connection refused” errors in its logs.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

For all that may have an issue with this, the solution was to provide an SSL certificate for the end target server as well. I don’t know why Tyk requires this when enabling SSL on itself, but for some reason it does when your target servers are addressed by hostname.

Thank you all,
