Greetings: I am using Tomcat 5.5.20 behind an apache 2.2 mod_proxy. The webapp uses form authentication.
If I access the webapp directly (http://localhost:8080/mywebapp) the authentication works and the user is redirected to the homepage. If I access the webapp behind the proxy (http://mywebapp.localhost) the authentication works but loops through the authentication process infinitely until the server times out. I have debugging enabled for the authentication process and I see in the logs that the user passes authentication and the principal and role are created. The log statements are repeated about 10 times and then in the browser I get a server timeout message instead of being redirected to the homepage. Here are the apache2 proxy directives: ... ServerName mywebapp.localhost ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/mywebapp/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/mywebapp/ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8082/mywebapp/$1 [P,L] Here is the connector element in the server.xml ... <Connector port="8082" maxThreads="300" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> Has anyone seen this type of behavior before with their application? Will switching to a mod_jk proxy change this behavior? Thanks for any insight you might have about this. Thanks. Bill. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
