Hi all,
I've got an application server, written in Perl Dancer2, that needs to get access to the client's actual IP address. But instead, it's getting the IP address of the apache server.
Both the Apache and application server are running on the same hardware.
Here is how I have the vhost defined: (sanitized)
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/
www.example.com/WWW.EXAMPLE.COM.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/
www.example.com/server.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/
www.example.com/OV_NetworkSolutionsOVServerCA2.crt ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName
example.com ServerAlias
www.example.com *.
example.com DocumentRoot /web/hw/
DirectoryIndex index.cfm
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Location "/apps/">
ProxyPass "
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apps/"
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
I have mod_remoteid installed and configured:
root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/etc/apache2# cat conf-enabled/remoteip.conf
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 127.0.0.1 198.101.193.34
But when I access a URL that runs on the app server, the app server gets 127.0.0.1 as the client's address.
Looking at the HTTP headers doesn't yield the correct results, either:
accept -> text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
accept-encoding -> gzip, deflate, br
accept-language -> en-US,en;q=0.5
connection -> Keep-Alive
host ->
127.0.0.1:8080upgrade-insecure-requests -> 1
user-agent -> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0
x-forwarded-for -> 198.101.193.34
x-forwarded-host ->
www.example.comx-forwarded-server ->
example.comThe value of the x-forwarded-for header is the outside interface on the Apache server, NOT the client's address.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
