Thank you Scott for the quick response.
Yeah, I forgot to mention last time- It works with myserver:8080.
So, (hypothetically) if I have to deploy this setup (tomcat/cas/mywebapp) on an
appliance and ship it off to a customer, I cannot set the value to
myserver:8080 when I ship the appliance since I don't know what "myserver" is.
There is not going to be an admin at the customer site that can set the value
for me either. I would have to somehow set serverName to myserver:8080 within
web.xml without exposing web.xml etc to the customer (ofcourse). Any ideas on
how I might be able to do that? Can I make CAS read the serverName value from
somewhere when the appliance is being setup (ip address/dns name is one of the
items that the customer needs to set during setup)?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.

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.
