This is short information how to proxy JBoss Application Server 7 admin console through apache httpd. Hope to write a nicer howto out of it later.

1. Run JBoss AS (admin console running on localhost:9990)
2. put this in /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_console.conf (you can change localhost to a hostname if AS running on a separate machine)
   

   ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain localhost <YOUR PUBLIC IP ADDRESS>
   # ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / / 
   ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9990/ 
   ProxyPass             / http://localhost:9990/
   # avoid problems with browsers that support header Origin
   ProxyPreserveHost On
   # fix problems with header Origin by disabling that header, not recommended
   # RequestHeader unset Origin
3. start httpd
4. access console on http://<YOUR PUBLIC IP ADDRESS>

Another possibility is to use something like this but there are some flaws. Need to revisit with AS 7.2 because of AS7-4397.

<Location /asconsole>
ProxyPass http://localhost:9990
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /asconsole/
ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain localhost <YOUR PUBLIC IP ADDRESS>
</Location>
<Location /asconsole/>
ProxyPassReverse /
</Location>
ProxyPreserveHost On
