Hello,
I’m fairly new with geoserver so forgive me if this seems trivial to you.
We are in a situation were we need to serve geoserver behind a reverse proxy; Every time I try to access geoserver at the address
I get redirected to
more, if I access
https://myserver/geoserver/web/
I get the GUI but once i try to enter username & password, the login action redirects again on http. Looks like the login has been performed because if I add https in front of the page I am logged in.
It looks like somewhere the server is not reading the protocol correctly (or maybe it is, just not reading the request correctly)
We have an apache in front of GeoServer with mod_proxy and ajp enabled.
We can play with the apache,unfortunately we cannot touch the reverse proxy (belongs to an entity that is not very collaborative) and it is only going to accept https connections, while we have (don’t ask why, I have no reasonable answer to give you) to talk via http to the proxy.
I have tried to set the following properties in web.xml :
PROXY_BASE_URL
Reverse Proxy Filter
together and one at time without success. I have also tried the Proxy Base Url parameter in Settings->Global without success (I suppose it has the same effect as the property in web.xml).
this is the version (About GeoServer) of our server :
Version 2.1.4
Subversion Revision 17150
Build Date 01-Jun-2012 17:02
GeoTools Version 2.7.5 (rev 38793)
Any hint would really be appreciated
TIA
