Ben, Thanks for clarifying this issue. I also think that's the best choice in my case. I'll contact with our IT department to tell them about the VirutalHosts.
Thanks!

I think QGIS is a data-driven client and will be affected. A global change will affect all workspaces. From your original email, it looks like you have one workspace per customer, so workspace-specific proxy base URLs combined with VirtualHosts may be the solution to your problem. In addition to the global proxy base URL, GeoServer allows an administrator to override the proxy base URL for each workspace. You need to check the settings box in the workspace configuration page and scroll to near the bottom to change the proxy base URL for this workspace. This change will affect only this workspace and only requests made through the workspace-specific service URL. Your VirtualHost proxy configuration needs to match you workspace-specific proxy base URL. A workspace-specific proxy base URL will not get you to: http://customer.mydomain.com/wms but it should allow you to change: http://mygeoserver.mydomain.com/geoserver/CUSTOMER/wms to: http://customer.mydomain.com/CUSTOMER/wms where CUSTOMER is your GeoServer workspace == namespace-prefix for this customer. Consider this example in which I compare (1) the original GeoServer response and (2) the response after I change the proxy base URL for the topp workspace to <http://example.org/>. Each request uses the workspace-specific WFS service URL. I then show a URL from the response to see how they change. I use WFS because I know it best, but WMS should work the same. For a WFS GetFeature response for topp:states: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typenames=topp:states&count=1 The DescribeFeatureType link in the schemaLocation: (1) http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typeName=topp%3Astates (2) http://example.org/topp/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typeName=topp%3Astates For a WFS GetCapabilities response: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetCapabilities The Operation service URLs: (1) <ows:Get xlink:href="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/wfs"/> (2) <ows:Get xlink:href="http://example.org/topp/wfs"/> In each case, changing the workspace-specific proxy base URL for the topp workspace to <http://example.org/> changed returned URLs to start with <http://example.org/topp/> instead of <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/>. Now just add an example.org VirtualHost:80 proxy to map <http://example.org/> to <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/> and you should be done: ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ If you want stricter isolation and do not want other customers' data visible through <http://example.org/OTHERCUSTOMER> by accident, you can proxy <http://example.org/topp/> to <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/>, but, because GeoServer will still encode links to global schema resources such as <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/schemas/gml/3.2.1/gml.xsd> as <http://example.org/schemas/gml/3.2.1/gml.xsd> which will miss your first proxy, you should add a second proxy for <http://example.org/schemas/> to <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/schemas/> . There may be other paths you need to proxy. Kind regards, Ben.
