[Geoserver-users] GeoServer behind a HTTP-Proxy

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello,

we must solve the following connection to a WMS:

[WMS (Internet)] ---- [HTTP-Proxy] ---- [GeoServer] ---- [Clients]

How can we tell GeoServer to use the HTTP-Proxy to connect to the internet WMS server?

Yours Rüdiger

Hello Rüdiger,

very easy: Admin login ---> Global --> 4th input field is: 'Proxy Base URL'.
Enter your proxy sever and you're done.

It kills your 'Layer Preview' though as the proxy doesn't know about
Openlayers.

Cheers

Christian

Hello,

I used the following URL as the getCapabilities URL:

  http://geodaten.bayern.de/ogc/ogc_dop200_oa.cgi?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

The http-proxy is configured as:

  http://<proxyname>:<proxyport>

But I get "connection refused" messaged while creating a WMS data source.

Opening the WMS URL with firefox and IE works through the proxy.

Any ideas?

Yours Rüdiger

Start up your server with -Dhttp.proxyHost= and -Dhttp.proxyPort= and it should all work fine.

Two different types of proxies, two different configurations.
Ian is giving you the solution for a forward proxy that GeoServer might
needs to access the internet itself.
Christian is giving you directions for a reverse proxy that you might be
using to expose GeoServer to the internet,
giving it a different hostname and path

Hello,

I changed the startup.bat to the following:

:run

set PROXY_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy.mycompany.lan -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

if “%JAVA_OPTS%” == “” (set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m)

set RUN_JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java

cd %GEOSERVER_HOME%

echo Please wait while loading GeoServer…

echo.

“%RUN_JAVA%” “%JAVA_OPTS%” “%PROXY_OPTS%” -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=“%GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR%” -Djava.awt.headless=true -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -jar start.jar

cd bin

goto end

But I still get “connection refused” messages.

Yours Rüdiger
