Jazz behind a reverse proxy

We ran the initial jazz instance v1.0.1.1 successfully behind a reverse proxy (running apache - Server version: Apache/2.2.4 on RedHat AS release 4).
Following the upgrade to v2 it takes up to 5 mins to display the logon screen and between 5 to 10 mins to display the initial page.
Once logged on performance is reasonable.

The vhosts entry is:
NameVirtualHost 10.23.12.199:443

<VirtualHost>
ServerName <name>
SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP
SSLCertificateFile <name>
SSLCertificateKeyFile <name>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / https://<ip>:443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://<ip>:443/


Has anyone else run jazz behind a reverse proxy?

Hi,

Yes, we are running RTC through a reverse proxy on jazz.net, using similar rules. I don't recall seeing any performance issues like this, but since we are self-hosting, we didn't go straight from 1.0.1.1 to 2.0, but adopted each milestone instead.

A few questions..
- Was this only on the first startup after upgrade or does the problem still happen?
- Does it happen if you bypass the reverse proxy and point your browser directly at the jazz server?
- Does it happen with the eclipse-based client as well, or only the Web UI?
- Could you try using firebug (or equivalent) to see which request is the slow one?

Thanks,
Curtis

Curtis,

We get similar (slow) performance irrespective of whether we use IE, firefox or client / web UI.
Before upgrading to 2.0 performance was acceptable, but now the time taken to display the 1st screen takes 5-10 mins, after authenticating continually.
If you connect directly to the server (no reverse proxy) performance is fine. We re-located the server to an ADSL connection (again no reverse proxy) and performance was again acceptable. It is only when traffic gets routed via the reverse proxy do we get a significant depredation in performance.
