I'm french, and it looks like the binding word is used all over the world to link anything.
I'd like to specify which IP address is allowed to access the JBoss management web application, so I started with :
<interfaces>
<interface name="management">
<inet-address value="15.16.17.18"/>
</interface>
<interface name="public">
<any-address/>
</interface>
</interfaces>
Where 15.16.17.18 is my IP address. But first, it would be ok only for one IP, and probably no more for localhost.
Second, it looks like binding here means that it's linked to the IP Address of the Network card - I suppose servers can have many IP address binded.
Is there a way to define allowed IP with JBoss ? Or do I have to use Apache/Nginx to allow IP address based on the port ?
The inet-address you're looking at is for telling JBoss which IP Address to bind to, not which addresses are allowed to access the component.
To address your problem of only allowing certain hosts to have access to your management console, you will require something like an Apache server fronting your JBoss 7 server with the rules defined accordingly on the Apache server.

I've got a problem with apache configuration. In short: there is a JBoss server with backend and Apache with frontend. Both are independent. There are requests, that are sent to the address like 1.1.1.1:8080/xyz (to the JBoss server) and I would like to make something like overwritting the 1.1.1.1 address with for example 'jboss' word. Just make it hidden for the person that will use the app and not making it necessary to give that person access to the JBoss server.
How can I do it? Should I try configure a VirtualHost or something different?
You can't rewrite to an external server but you can Proxy / Reverse Proxy the requests. Have a look at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html
I have hosting with godaddy with a private IP address. I am able to access my websites and others via the domain name, but not via IP Address.
I am now trying to access the HTTP via port 80 but it gives an error that the website is not setup.
Are there any workarounds on turning allowing accessing the website and other folders through the IP address over http?
This sounds to me like you were on a managed webpack that grants you access to the to-be-served content but not to the webserver or its config itself.
What you are experiencing there is an effect of a technique called virtual-hosts in which multiple sites are tied to one IP address. For this to work in the realm of HTTP, the Host header got introduced in HTTP/1.1. It allows clients to send a domain name for which they want to receive content.
If you request a raw IP, though, the Host header won't look like Host: example.com but rather like Host: 123.45.67.89. The server will not be able to associate a domainname with this as it is unlikely to be found elsewhere in the request. Therefore, it will be forced to serve content out of its default document directory which usually contains further documentations regarding the further configuration of the webserver in question. Linux distributions like to add additional informations specific to them. Check if you see any mentioning of e.g. Debian, RedHat, or Centos.
I am not sure if this is fixable. Usually webservers like Apache support IP-based virtual hosts. If a masshoster like godaddy is really going to address this is uncertain. Try to contact their support and see.
1]If you are using host headers, make sure you have a DNS entry pointing your URL to your IP
2]Telnet port 80 from a machine outside your network.If it fails then check with your ISP that port 80 should not block in firewall.
from default httpd.conf to updating the host file and httpd.conf i tried but the website fails to open with domain name give
in host file
<my current public ip address> <domain name>
in httpd.conf
Listen [my public ip]:port
then restart of wamp server and finally restart of PC and of-course change of ip is done in above all.
But of no use
Please help
Thanks for time and response
Aaron,
I think you are misunderstanding the function of the HOSTS file.
The hosts file acts a little like a local DNS Server. Any changes you make to it will only effect the single PC that you made the change on.
What the HOST file actually does
When windows starts it starts a service called DNS Client also known as dnscache. That service reads the HOSTS file and seeds the dnscache with any domain names you put in it and the ip that should be connected to for each domain name.
Any program (the browser in this case) that wants to connect to a domain, checks this cache first, to reduce accesses to an actual DNS Server out on the web and therefore speed up the conversion of domain name to Ip Address.
So if you want external users, i.e. anybody on the internet to be able to access your site you have to either purchase a real domain name and get it pointed to your WAN ip address, or use a Dynamic DNS service like DYNDNS or NO-IP, to mention only a few, and get that dynamic dns service to point to your WAN IP.
You will also have to change your Apache config so it will serve that domain name, my suggestion would be to create a Virtual Host to do this.
This post may help with the process of creating a Virtual Host
Hi, I've created an Apache server and it's accessible through its domain name outside of my home network. I can also access it by going to the localhost on the PC that serves the site. My problem is that I can't access the site from any other devices connected to my network. I've tried both domain and localhost, and neither of them work. Is it possible to make the site accessible to devices within the network that its hosted on?
Your problem is probably caused by NAT: you have a public domain for your apache webserver, which points to your public IP. From inside your network, your apache's server cannot be reached through your public IP because of network address translation. But you apache webserver will also have a private IP address in the form of 192.168.1.X (or something similar). So, from a PC in your private network, just point to the private IP address of your apache's web server and it will work.
For completeness, I must also mention the fact that this solution relies on the settings you made in your httpd.conf file in apache: if the virtual host is mapped to *:80 (or *:port) everything will be fine
i am using subnet-match in jboss 7.1.1 Final standalone.xml file for the management http url.
<interfaces>
<interface name="management">
<subnet-match value="10.62.65.0/254"/>
</interface>
</interfaces>
but i can still access the management url from other subnets.
is there anything else i need to configure?
thank you
To disable management url you can just bind it to localhost, which is default anyhow.
this way url won't be accessible from any remote machine.
To completely disable it, you can just remove whole
<management-interfaces>
...
</management-interfaces>
from standalone.xml
