Re: ProxyPass/ProxyPassreverse shared cookies?

After some wondering, I decided to see if changing domain name would 

help, I mean going away from having the danish character æ in the 

domain, and it did. And I actually did not have to use cookie rewrite or 

domain.

So this works too using mod proxy..

Hi

I have two applications running in a tomcat instance, I use apaches mod

proxy to forward to them accordingly. However I have trouble getting 

a share

cookie to be visible in each application. Since cookies need to be 

on the

same path and domain. Currently no cookies are going out to the 

browser from

apache2 http.

Are you sure no cookies are going out? Have you looked at your http
traffic using something like LiveHTTPHeaders or firebug?

I did check with web developer, and firecookie. However as it turns 

out after doing a little deeper check it became apparent that it's 

probably the domain name that's messing with stuff. So the cookies are 

set just not for the current domain, but suffixed with forum and 

beta(like you write). Problem is that my domain contains an æ it's 

something like this : domæne.dk however there are trouble with this so 

forexample firefox recognises it as domæne.dk but IE6 does 

xn--domne-e6a.dk. I've setup Apache to use the xn-domne-e6a.dk, can I 

have two domains, so that I also use the one with æ, it's just a 

matter of adding the other name as an server alias right, I guess 

Apache http supports æ ø å etc?

Normally apache just forwards cookies produced by your app to the
client. you can ask apache to change the cookiedomain and the path,

I've tried todo this:

(beta)

   ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / 

/tomcatcontex/                                                                

   ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain /tomcatcontex beta.domæne.dk
(forum)

   ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /jforum-2.1.8 

/                                                                        

   ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain /jforum-2.1.8 beta.domæne.dk         

But obviously it does not work, both cookie domains are set to:

beta.xn--trningslog-e6a.dk (the tomcat cookie)
forum.xn--trningslog-e6a.dk (the forum cookie)

It looks like the domain path are being used, is only /.

You have configured two virtual hosts, beta.domain.dk and
forum.domain.dk, and want to share cookies between them, is that
correct?

Yes exactly.

In this case you must make sure that cookiedomain is domain.dk.
If you set cookidomain to beta.domain.dk the cookie will only be sent
by the browser on requests to beta.domain.dk, and not on requests to
forum.domain.dk.

I am aware of this, but thanks for reminding.
