通过Apache远程访问JBOSS管理控制台

Question

I have an environment where the JBOSS server sits on a linux machine and it's services accessed via Apache server running there. I am not able access the JBOSS console as "http://:/console"

What changes apparently will I have to make in "httpd.conf" to access this url from outside.

Answer 1

The safer way of accessing your JBoss console is through an ssh tunnel. Execute locally

ssh -L 7990:localhost:9990 username@your.jboss.server -N

and enjoy your remote server's console on your local machine on port 7990.

Opening console port on your web server is also a solution, but less secure one.

Answer 2

Try with:

<Location /console>  
    ProxyPass http://localhost:9990  
    ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /console/  
    ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain localhost <YOUR PUBLIC IP ADDRESS>  
</Location>  

<Location /console/>  
   ProxyPassReverse /  
</Location>  

ProxyPreserveHost On  

The thing with the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives is that it preserves the domain so you can handle cookies as is on JBoss side without any problems, and that sessions are tracked correctly.

The ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directive rewrites the path string in Set-Cookie headers. If the beginning of the cookie path matches internal-path , the cookie path will be replaced with public-path . And ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain rewrites the domain string in Set-Cookie headers.
