Hi,
We have the classic 3 tiered webapp architecture with BigIP
loadbalancers acting as SSL Proxies - such that requests for the webapp:
https://server/jkmount/
1) Come into the BigIP - the BigIP Proxies the HTTPS and sends the
same request to the Apache servers on port 80
2) Apache sees the URI with a matching jkmount and sends the
request to the Tomcat worker
3) PROBLEM: tomcat constructs the absolute URL to return based on
the assumption its port 80 and returns the insecure
http://server/jkmount/index.jsp
Found some relevant docs here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/proxy-howto.html
But its unclear how to get tomcat to keep the https:// instead of
returning the absolute http://
Apache 2.0.48
Tomcat 4.1.30
Thanks for any tips!
