hi, I have a tomcat 8.5.15 behind an apache behind cloudflare. I am trying to "see" the user's ip in my logs. When I print out the headers I see that I have headers in the request CF-Connecting-IP and X-Forwarded-For with real user's up, say 93.72.251.122. But when I make a request to request.getRemoteAddr() it returns 162.158.103.188 which is cloudflare's ip address, not the real one. I added to the server.xml the remoteipvalue in different configuration und "Host", i.e.: <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" remoteIpHeader="x-forwarded-for" protocolHeader="x-forwarded-proto" />
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" remoteIpHeader="X-Forwarded-For" protocolHeader="X-Forwarded-Proto" /> or assuming for defaults: <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" /> or even: <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" remoteIpHeader="CF-Connecting-IP" /> but none of them give me the getRemoteAddr properly. Is there a trick to this configuration? kr Leon
