Re: RE: Updating Response url from Apache

We were able to achieve this in IIS using below rewrite configuration, was wondering if theres any module that I can use in apache to achieve the same.

 

      <rewrite>

        <outboundRules>

          <rule name="Adjust context root" preCondition="matchReq">

            <!--Check if the Response URI location from Application Redirect starts with /gtaapp (Application context) and if so, prefix /services/gta  as required by Torbit-->

            <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_LOCATION" pattern="^(\/gtaapp\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$" ignoreCase="true" />

            <action type="Rewrite" value="/services/gta{RESPONSE_LOCATION}" />

          </rule>

          <preConditions>

            <preCondition name="matchReq">

              <!--Ensure the request is from external user. This can also be determined based on a new HTTP header added by Torbit, if required-->

              <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www.external.com$" ignoreCase="true" />

            </preCondition>

          </preConditions>

        </outboundRules>

      </rewrite>

Thank you Matt for response.

 

We don’t have control on external proxy server its Torbit managed by other team.

 

We have all firewall rules opened and communications between internal and external.

 

Below are request and response we are looking for.

 

 

Request :: 

End user access this url in AEM ( https://www.external.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp) —> Torbit ( Proxy pass https://www.external.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp  —> https://www.internal.com/gtaapp/menu.jsp ) —> Apache 2.4 https://www.internal.com/gtaapp/menu.jsp —> WAS Application Server ((Application with context root “gtaapp” )

 

==============

 

Response :: 

 

WAS Application Server (Application with context root “gtaapp” ) —> Apache 2.4 https://www.internal.com/gtaapp/menu.jsp  (here we are looking to send response as https://www.internal.com/services/gta/gtaapp/  based on HTTP_HOST in header set to www.external.com in Torbit) —> Torbit ( proxy pass https://www.internal.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp —>  https://www.external.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp —> AEM/Client https://www.external.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp

 

 

Internal users access application directly hitting Apache 2.4 virtual.

External users will access application from AEM which appends additional context root “\services\gta” which is not actual context root of Application.

 

I’m looking to change https://www.internal.com/gtaapp/menu.jsp  to https://www.internal.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp whenever apache sends response back to torbit so that torbit can identify correct path in AEM and load request to user as https://www.external.com/services/gta/gtaapp/menu.jsp

 

Torbit passes HTTP_HOST with value as www.external.com in header so that I can filter based on http_host and do this only for the requests coming from external so that it doesn’t affect internal users.

 

I tried to use substitute module which quiet didn’t work.

 

Substitute "s|https://www.internal.com/gtaapp/|https://www.internal.com/services/gta/gtaapp/|i"

There are bound to be other approaches, but one method is to configure the www.external.com server as a reverse proxy.  This assumes you have control of the web server running on www.external.com.

Hello Team,

 

                We are currently using application internal to our network using something like below

www.internal.com/<Application_Context_Root>/menu.jsp

 

We are working to expose our application to external users we use an additional component Adobe Experience manager for accessing application which appends and additional context root in request header before even hitting our proxy server in DMZ which proxies request to internal.

Now our request for external users will be.

www.external.com/services/app/<Application_Context_Root>/menu.jsp, when it redirects to internal Apache web server and when internal web server responds back to external its not appending additional context root in header /services/app due to which it's failing.

 

I’m looking for my internal Apache web server to identify any request coming to the internal Apache web server from www.external.com sends a response back to external by appending /services/app to the header before Application_context_Root.

 

I think I may not be able to use rewrite module to achieve, I’m looking at substitute module. Is there a way I can add a condition to substitute module and append it to response header from apache?

 

Any request that comes to Apache from www.external.com or Proxy server should be filtered and in every response that apache sends to this requests  I need to add “/services/app” to header before application context root.
