Hello, I have something similar but I run Tomcat instead of IBM. We use F5/Apache 2.4/Tomcat , and please note this an Apache that I compile myself.
This is what I do to resolve this problem : -download mod_rapf-0.6 -download rpaf patch ( http://www.be-root.com/downloads/mod_rpaf/mod_rpaf-2.0.patch ) and apply it ( patch -p0 < mod_rpaf-2.0.patch) -compile mod_rpaf ( example : /usr/local/httpd-2.4.12/bin/apxs -i -c -n mod_rpaf-2.0.so mod_rpaf-2.0.c ) -load and configure the module in httpd.conf : LoadModule rpaf_module modules/mod_rpaf.so <IfModule rpaf_module> RPAFenable On RPAFproxy_ips 127.0.0.1 (and others ip if needed) RPAFsethostname On </IfModule> -at the tomcat level I need to configure a special logging valve <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" /> 2016-03-20 14:15 GMT+01:00 Abernathy, Don <daberna...@mfs.com>: > We are running Apache behind an F5 fronting JAVA Container (WebSphere) and > the JAVA code makes an HttpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr() request to get IP. > The IP I am told is the one that the CGI REMOTE_ADDR server parameter of > Apache provides, but when I try to log that value to see what it is, I get > null. > I am under the impression that there is no setting to turn on, but that it > should work. > I will note that the Apache I am running is the IBM Version, known as IBM > Http Server. > > I have asked the my team to look at using X-Forwarded-User, but how would > I set it up so that the query for IP returns that, or do we ask the JAVA > Developer to change the > Code to support checking for X-Forwarded-User, NOT getRemoteAddr? > > Thanks > > > Don Abernathy > Group Manager- Web Services > MFS Investment Management > MFS Email system made the following annotation > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This email communication and any attachments may contain proprietary, > confidential, or privileged information.
