HTTPS to HTTP proxy server that talks to a Jboss server running Tomcat...

[Mike Lyon <mike.lyon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I ran into an issue today while I was configuring an HTTPS to HTTP proxy utilizing mod_ssl and mod-proxy. I am using the proxy server as my front-end SSL offloader. In front of the proxy is my router that is doing NAT. 

So the problem I am having is that I can reach the site from the outside via the NAT'd IP of the proxy server but when I try to login to the app, it will come up and say, "your session has timed out. Please try again." So I went to the proxy server locally and brought up firefox and went to the internal HTTP webserver directly and I was able to log in just fine.

I know nothing about Jboss and Tomcat but it seems to me that problem is with the proxy, not Jboss or Tomcat as I can login successfully to the local webserver from the proxy console.

Anyone here have any ideas of what might be happening? I have increased the TTLs in the proxy statements in the specific vhost but no luck. Could this be a cookie issue and/or does caching need to be configured on the proxy?

Thank You in advance.

Cheers,
Mike
