ProxyPass Help

[Abhinav Kothari <ar.kothari@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am new to Apache web server and its configuration. I have a very simple question and I think most of you would have a ready answer for my question :)

I am developing an application that will be part of a container application. The container application handles the user authentication part. My application would receive the authentication information and I will use that to show/hide parts of my application. The container application is on an integration machine and my application is currently on my local. I cannot run the container application on my local machine.

My question is - can i point the link to my application on the container application to my local machine using ProxyPass or ProxyPassReverse? The link on the container application to my application is http://<integrationbox>/myapp . I was trying to do something like this:

ProxyPass /myapp/ http://localhost:8080/myapp

ProxyPassReverse /myapp/ http://localhost:8080/myapp

Will something like this work? 

Also, the user information is stored in session by the container app. Will I have access to that information?

Thanks in advance
