redmine with smart http and redmine_git_hosting does not allow pushing to repository

[ghost]

Redmine version: 3.4.4.stable
redmine_git_hosting plugin version: 1.2.3
gitolite v.3

HTTPS only access to repositories. I can clone OK but when pushing I get the following error:

fatal: Authentication failed for ''

On the server side in the git_hosting.log I get the following error however:

SmartHttp : your are trying to push data without SSL!, exiting !

I am confused on what the real cause of the problem is

My virtual host redmine configuration file is:

`<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName .....
ServerAlias ......
ServerAdmin ....
DocumentRoot /opt/redmine/public
PassengerRuby ......
PassengerFriendlyErrorPages on

 ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/redmine-error_log

OK, I've figured it out (no thanx to the obscure error messages). I must be the only one who is using https!
Basically my virtual host configuration is missing 3 entries re SSL:
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile
SSLCertificateKeyFile

Can the documentation on the website page http://redmine-git-hosting.io/how-to/install-addons/ be update to reflect this? It may help someone from pulling the hair out like I did :-)

Actually, you have to pass the right headers to redmine to support https besides just configuring it with Apache:

RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-SSL" expr=%{HTTPS}
