How to access Admin Console via Apache Web Server ?

[sewatech]

Hi,

I'm trying to access to my admin console via Apache and mod_proxy. I saw some issues (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1856, for example) which are supposed to be fixed in AS 7.1.3.

Here is my mod_proxy setting :

ProxyPass /console http://localhost:9990/console
ProxyPassReverse /console http://localhost:9990/console

ProxyPass /management http://localhost:9990/management
ProxyPassReverse /management http://localhost:9990/management

It's working fine with Firefox (v7), but not on Chrome (v23) or Safari (v6). On those browsers I have a 403 error on the first POST call to the /management context. A GET call to /management from browser address bar is working fine.

Is there a way to make it work on all browsers ?

Thanks,

Alexis

I would suggest taking a look at the following: -

Thanks Darran, that is the link I needed.

I've just added ProxyPreserveHost, and it's working. I'll see later if I really need the ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain directive

For the moment, the following configuration is fine :

ProxyPass /console http://localhost:9990/console
ProxyPassReverse /console http://localhost:9990/console

ProxyPass /management http://localhost:9990/management
ProxyPassReverse /management http://localhost:9990/management

ProxyPreserveHost On

This wiki is really like a gold mine. Too sad, I haven't found the page before.

A second test over SSL failed, I have to add the unrecommended directive :

RequestHeader unset Origin

Hi Alexis,

I'm facing to the same problem.

But unfortuntely, the solution described above did'nt solve my problem.

I've to precise that I'm using Jboss AS 7.1.

Here is my configuration:

ProxyPass /console http://localhost:10490/console
 ProxyPassReverse /console http://localhost:10490/console
 ProxyPass /management/ http://localhost:10490/management
 ProxyPassReverse /management http://localhost:10490/management
 ProxyPreserveHost On

As you can see, it's exactly the same.

And when I try to acces the the console, I'm gettin an error.

In the apache log I have the errors below:

[Thu May 23 17:33:05 2013] [error] [client 10.206.17.218] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /console/

[Thu May 23 17:44:48 2013] [error] [client 10.206.17.218] File does not exist: /var/www/html/console

Do you have any idea about the reasons?

Thanks in advance.

The above log indicates that the ProxyPass directive has been ignored.

Is mod_proxy activated in your Apache ?
