    Virtual Host under Connector

    frostbytten

      I was browsing the jboss-web.xsd and noticed that the connector has "virtual-server" listed as an optional entry. Does this mean that you can have an ssl connector that only listens on certain virtual-hosts. I played with it a little, but every time I hit that virtual domain it can back with a 403 forbidden?

       

      I guess the reason that I am asking is that I would like the following:

       

      http - sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com

      https - secure.example.com

       

      If I add the connector (with the correct ssl information) I know that both protocols work for all three domains. I would like secure to ONLY work with ssl (being fronted by nginx, I know I can just rewrite the URL, but I want to know that the only port available is the https port).

       

      Any insight?

          Hi there,

           

          I'm running into the exact same error like you did. I'm trying to have different web applications available through different ports.

           

          I added a new socket-binding:

          <socket-binding name="http2" port="8181"/>

           

          created a new virtual-server:

          <virtual-server name="foo.com" default-web-module="/multipart-war" enable-welcome-root="false"/>

           

          now I added a new connector, refering to both, the socket-binding and the virtual-server:

          <connector name="http2" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http2">

              <virtual-server name="foo.com"/>

          </connector>

           

          Now I only get a HTTP 403 error when trying to access port 8181.

           

          Is there any advice on how to do this?

            After you specify this, you need to make sure there is a jboss-web.xml in your WEB-INF formatted in the following manner:

            {code:xml}<jboss-web>

              <virtual-host>foo.com</virtual-host>

            </jboss-web>{code}

            This takes care of the necessary routing within JBoss.

             

            Also, although this is implemented within the xsd file, I don't think that it is currently read at this point. I am still experimenting with my settings to verify this.
