JAAS Login Module and WebDispatcher

[Former Member]

Hi there!

We developed a custom JAAS login module to filter client IP addresses. The IP address is read from Http Callback CLIENT_IP. It is working fine.

But if we use WebDispatcher for load balancing, CLIENT_IP is always recognized as the WebDispatchers IP address.

Is there any way to get the real client IP address?

Regards,

Christian

Hi,

Try configuring wdisp/add_xforwardedfor_header in web dispatcher as described here:

And configuring ClientIpHeaderName on the java server as described here:

Hi,

Thats it! I don't even have to read the x-forwarded-for header in my login module, the httpGetterCallback CLIENT_IP now just reveives the real client IP.

Definitely a 10 pointer!
