webmin via proxy module of apache?

[Sandro D. <san...@ti...>]

Has anybody tried using webmin via proxypass module of apache. The advantage
should be to leave only one port open to the world (I did this for ntop, and
it almost works...;-).

Whis are the possible disadventages? (eg.: no control over IP)

I thought to do something like:

ProxyPass /webmin/ https://localhost:10000/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/tmp/webmin.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} localhost/webmin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/webmin
RewriteRule "^/(.*)$" https://localhost/webmin/$1 [L,P] 

(this should only work from localhost, thought...). 
I get the message:

  You don't have permission to access /webmin/ on this server.

Thanks in advance

I attach my webmin.conf:


root=/usr/share/webmin
mimetypes=/etc/mime.types
port=10000
host=bluff.diade.it
addtype_cgi=internal/cgi
realm=Webmin Server
logfile=/var/log/webmin/miniserv.log
pidfile=/var/run/webmin.pid
logtime=168
ssl=1
env_WEBMIN_CONFIG=/etc/webmin
env_WEBMIN_VAR=/var/log/webmin
logout=/etc/webmin/logout-flag
listen=10000
userfile=/etc/webmin/miniserv.users
keyfile=/etc/webmin/miniserv.pem
loghost=
log=1
logclear=
blockhost_time=
no_pam=0
