Hi all, I have tomcat and the acegi framework working just fine processing http and https requests. However, we put a load balancer in front of the server under test, and it no longer works:
1) The request without the load balancer forwards to https://myserver.net/public/index.jsp , but with the web server it forwards to just https://myserver.net/ . It then gets into a redirect loop for about 10 times to / . What I think is happening is there is no http session, which acegi needs. 2) If I type https://myserver.net/public/index.jsp into the browser url , it also loops on public/index.jsp . Same affect, no http session. I posted the question to the acegi list, and the reply from one of the developers is the loadbalancer is probably acting like a reverse proxy and I need to configure tomcat to redirect the requests: http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=37553 The load balancer is a loadmaster LMI-1500, which the docs describe as: "Putting a LoadMaster or a SSL-Master in front of these web servers and terminating the SSL session, thus sending the traffic as regular HTTP to the servers relieves the servers of the CPU-intensive cryptographic functions. Using a LoadMaster also allows the ability to do cookie persistence, since the LoadMaster will see the unencrypted traffic and will be able to make persistence decisions based on cookies." I'm trying to digest what all this means. Any help appreciated. Robert
