[Building Sakai] Tomcat Connector Question When RUnning Behind a Proxy

[David Barroso]

Hello,

I was talking about these two cases:



Case 1:
----------

server.xml with an HTTP connector WITHOUT the proxyName configured

---
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" />
---

and a loadbalancer that uses http to connect to the node

---
BalancerMember http://node.example.com:8080
---


Using this configuration, you see the address of the Tomcat server
(and not the loadbalancer server as expected) when you point some
link in the Gateway (About, Features, etc ...)



Case 2:
-----------

server.xml with an AJP connector WITHOUT the proxyName configured

---
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
---

and a loadbalancer that uses AJP to connect to the node

---
BalancerMember ajp://node.example.com:8009
---

Using this configuration, you see the address of the loadbalancer,
(as expected) when you point some link in the Gateway


If you want to use an HTTP connector, you must set the proxyName
to see the correct serverUrl.


I don't know how a stock war file without RequestFilter give the address.
Do you want me to test it?

Regards,
