Reverse proxy configuration through j2ee applicaton to RTC using httpClient


Neelkanthreddy ireddy (113) | asked Jul 03 '15, 6:30 a.m.

Engineering portal(Engp)  provides proxy capabilities for internal daimler applications (similar to reverse proxy),

basically its a j2ee application uses httpClint api from apache to connct backend proxy application. and engineering portal proxy application has the public url

https://eng-daimler.com/Engproxy/app/RTC/ccm

which we map to private url inside daimler n/w https://daimler.zazz.example.com:9443/ccm

when we call the app from browser we get the login page successfully ,but inbetwee RTC will reidrect  to JTS with

https://daimler.zazz.example.com:9443/jts

  the session is not getting created  and when we verified the LTPAToken is missing in cookie , we need to know is any header parameters are missing dure to that RTC is not able to create the user session .

  we gone through the wiki which provides reverse proxy configuration for IHS webserver with RTC , in engineering portal we also use IBM htttp server , through which  requests reach app server(WAS8) , on the app server we deployed the engineering portal application which actually talks to RTC , RTC is again deployed on different app server,

I doubt there are any documents for such specific configuration. I do know that some users successfully use IIS as the reverse proxy with a "shortened" URL but unfortunately I don't know the details of the implementation. Just remember that the public URI of CLM applications is hard coded in the database and only a "server rename" operation can change it. That's why you see that a predefined URI is picked up when the web page redirects between CLM applications. As a rule of thumb, put the reverse proxy in place _before_ you configure the CLM application.
