Hello, Lets say I have a machine that hosts tomcat, cas and my webapp. My webapp requires that it be accessed only via an absolute url that contains the name of the server. What I mean by that is- If a user attempts to use the ip of the server as in, say, 172.167.243.12:8080/DDD/main.jsp, some code within the app redirects the browser back to http://myserver:8080/DDD/main.jsp. Similarly, if a user logins in to the server and tries to access the application using http://localhost:8080/DDD/main.jsp (locally using a browser on the server itself), he is again redirected to http://myserver:8080/DDD/main.jsp. So, basically, my webapp *requires* that the initial part of the url be http://myserver:8080/DDD.
The problem- I set the serverName to localhost:8080 in web.xml. Then I try to access my app using http://myserver:8080/DDD/main.jsp. I get authenticated and CAS tries to redirect me to http://localhost:8080/DDD/main.jsp. The code in my webapp figures out that "localhost" is being used instead of "myserver" and redirects to http://myserver:8080/DDD/main.jsp as required by the app. This causes CAS to authenticate again (I am NOT asked for username/password again) and CAS again redirects to http://localhost:8080/DDD/main.jsp and the cycle continues endlessly. How do I fix this? What value can I use for serverName? Is there a way by which I can prevent the second redirect from within my application to not go to CAS? I tried adding "?gateway=true" to the second redirect Url. But that didn't help. Appreaciate any help. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo!
