Good! But I'm finding a weird behaviour on the forums... If I enter on
the old url
http://user.services.openoffice.org/
I'm NOT redirected. If I open bot, the new and the old address and
log-in in the new, in the old one I'm still logged off
I would consider this to be normal behavior. Authentication is probably managed
through a cookie that is sent back to the originating site (the originating
subdomain) only. So user.services.openoffice.org has no way to know that you
are logged in at forum.openoffice.org, unless we completely rewrite all URLs in
the form user.services.openoffice.org/SOMETHING to
forum.openoffice.org/SOMETHING .
Not only confusing, but also problematic: if you log-in on the new
address and then click on an old link that cross reference to another
post you'll arrive to a page on which you are not logged in any
more!
If we have hardcoded links that are not rewritten (i.e., if pages on forum.openoffice.org contain
"internal" links that reference user.services.openoffice.org explicitly), then it would
be better to use an "external" redirect as explained above.
Currently both user.services.openoffice.org and forum.openoffice.org are
directed to the same IP by DNS.
Also wiki.services.openoffice.org and wiki.openoffice.org are directed to the
same IP by DNS.
What is different is that for the wiki the Apache Traffic Server is in front
and it does do the necessary redirection to wiki.openoffice.org.
Should we do something similar for the user forums?

Hi,
Just checked and the phpBB installation, for En at least but I'd assume
same for all, list the base URL of the site as
user.services.openoffice.org, all generated links then use this.
Isn't it proper now to use the forum.openoffice.org address?
Don't suppose doing so would help alleviate the currently discussed
problem though.
It would be proper in combination with a virtual host entry in the ooo-fourms'
apache2.conf file for wiki.services.openoffice.org and then to redirect all of
that traffic to wiki.openoffice.org permanently.
# change wiki.services.openoffice.org/... to wiki.openoffice.org/...
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}} ^wiki\.services\.openoffice\.org$
RewriteRule ^wiki\.services\.openoffice\.org/(.*)
http://wiki.openoffice.org/$1 [NE,L,R=permanent]
However - it is also possible to configure phpBB such that the software
determines, at runtime versus a hard coded setting, what the proper base
domain name is - now that might be worth a test..
@imacat - what do you think?
Yes, what do you think?
