Access JBoss 7.1.1.Final using IP address - jboss7.x

How to configure standalone-full.xml to make JBoss 7.1.1.Final server accessible from remote machine using IP address?
I tried changing the bind address in interface from 127.0.0.1 to my ip address but didn't work.
<interfaces>
<interface name="management">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:172.x.x.x}"/>
</interface>
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:172.x.x.x}"/>
</interface>
<interface name="unsecure">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:127.0.0.1}"/>
</interface>
</interfaces>

I have set it like this in my standalone.xml
<interfaces>
<interface name="management">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>
</interface>
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}"/>
</interface>
<interface name="unsecure">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:0.0.0.0}"/>
</interface>
</interfaces>
0.0.0.0 means all interfaces

My standalone.xml looks like this:
<interfaces>
<interface name="management">
<any-address/>
</interface>
<interface name="public">
<any-address/>
</interface>
<interface name="unsecure">
<any-address/>
</interface>
</interfaces>
any-address is valid for all interfaces.

While starting JBoss, we can also use -b 0.0.0.0 as a parameter,without having to change in standalone-full.xml. Works fine for me.

undertow subsystem configuration in keycloak for http listener

Hello every one I am trying to configure keycloak and while skimming around the docs I have come across this config for undertow subsystem in wildfly (upon which keycloak runs) and verified it in my standalone.xml file
<server name="default-server">
<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" redirect-socket="https" enable-http2="true"/>
<https-listener name="https" socket-binding="https" security-realm="ApplicationRealm" enable-http2="true"/>
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<http-invoker security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
</host>
</server>
.....
.....
<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
<socket-binding name="ajp" port="${jboss.ajp.port:8009}"/>
<socket-binding name="http" port="${jboss.http.port:8080}"/>
<socket-binding name="https" port="${jboss.https.port:8443}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-http" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.http.port:9990}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-https" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.https.port:9993}"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-recovery-environment" port="4712"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="4713"/>
<outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">
<remote-destination host="localhost" port="25"/>
</outbound-socket-binding>
</socket-binding-group>
Now what I want to know is why the http-listener has a redirect-socket set to "https" as this listener is supposed to be listening for http requests made to the keycloak server? right? and we do have a separate https-listener. Also in a case of reverse proxy sitting in front of keycloak all requests made to keycloak via the proxy using http shall also end up on the http listener right? so why is http-listener redirecting request to a https socket binding?
What at first seems unreasonable has a very simple explanation: Keycloak should communicate with Users and Client over https. So, if a users attempts to start a session over http, he immediately redirected to https.
On the other hand, if a user already started a session over https, there is no need to redirect him further.

Load Balancing Cluster not working with Apache HTTP Server 2.4.6 and JBoss EAP 7

I am certifying my application on JBoss EAP 7. My application works on standalone mode but in cluster mode, my application gets deployed but I am unable to login. I am again re-routed to login url.
I have setup cluster using mod_cluster.
There is no error log in Load Balancer Server logs neither on individual nodes of the cluster.
In my test environment, my load balancer and 2 server nodes are on same machine. I have given JBoss nodes different ports and instance-ids to differentiate the nodes.
I am sharing my mod_cluster.conf and JBoss standalone-ha.xml extracts from one of the nodes in cluster.
Following are the snippets in standalone-ha.xml file:

Basically you have two options - either create a cluster using JBoss own domain mode or extend you standalone configuration to contain required elements for session replication and sso.
In domain mode, most of the configurations are already present in EAP7 - just extend domain-full-ha profile.
Required changes include enabling distributable flag in your web app web.xml - simply add <distributable/> to your web.xml.
Next add single sign on flag to your undertow system:
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
<single-sign-on/> <!-- FIXME: enable SSO here -->
</host>
And enable cache container required for clustered SSO to work - this requires Infinishpan subsystem, which you might now have, if you only extended standalone-ha profile. If you do not see Infinispan subsystem, have a look at standalone-full of standalone-full-ha profiles. If you do not have it already, add web cache:
/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=web/distributed-cache=concurrent:add
/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=web/distributed-cache=concurrent/store=file:add
Again, if you use full-ha profile of either standalone or domain mode, you will probably have these already.
Also you do not mention, if you use JBoss security domain for authorization or not. In case you use some custom auth mechanism, make sure you set the session cookie or tokens correctly - for correct domain and context etc.

How to have 2 different web/app servers for the same domain but different context path?

I'm running a standard PHP application on my domain and did set that to www.johndoe.com/p/
Now, the port 80 is apparently serviced by this HTTP server (Apache, not Tomcat). Also, I installed Wildfly 8.2 on this server on port 8000. How, can I use Wildfly WAR applications on the same domain e.g. www.johndoe.com/w/?
I'm positive that there is a way of redirecting the /w/ requests to the Java EE server and keep the /p/ serviced by Apache, right?
I assume mod_proxy (http gateway) and mod_proxy_ajp are simple solutions. Can anyone reflect on my requirements and the the mod_proxy/ajp functionality?
ProxyPass /w ajp://localhost:8000/w
ProxyPassReverse /w http://www.johndoe.com/w
I do not demand load balacing or anything else sophisticated. Just the split of the two contexti. Only port 80 is accessible from the internet.
Thank you.
Okay. Here the resolution.
I added to Wildfly 8.2 standalone.xml the following ajp-listener...
<server name="default-server">
<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http"/>
<ajp-listener name="ajp" socket-binding="ajp"/>
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
</host>
</server>
... and bind it to the socket ...
<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
<socket-binding name="management-http" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.http.port:9990}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-https" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.https.port:9993}"/>
<socket-binding name="ajp" port="${jboss.ajp.port:28009}"/>
<socket-binding name="http" port="${jboss.http.port:28080}"/>
<socket-binding name="https" port="${jboss.https.port:28443}"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-recovery-environment" port="4712"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="4713"/>
<outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">
<remote-destination host="mail.johndoe.com" port="25"/>
</outbound-socket-binding>
</socket-binding-group>
Invoke service wildfly reload or service wildfly restart. To Wildfly listening on AJP requests.
Finally, add to your http.conf file of your Apache Virtual Host Domain the following:
ProxyPass /w ajp://127.0.0.1:28009/w
ProxyPassReverse /w ajp://127.0.0.1:28009/w
Also for Apache, restart with service apache2 reload.
Caution. In Parallels Plesk, the virtual host config file must be edited in /var/www/vhosts/system/johndoe.com/conf/http.conf and NOT in /var/vhosts/johndoe.com/conf/http.conf

Is it possible to run SSL and non-SSL web applications on same standalone Wildfly?

Is it possible to run SSL and non-SSL web applications on same standalone Wildfly?
I am using Wildfly 8.1.0 (Undertow) and I am having troubles at configuring this scenario...
For example, I know how to configure either HTTP or HTTPS themselves, but whenever I try to run a configuration for both, the HTTP response is redirected to the SSL one... :(
Could somebody please point out what to change for example in the default standalone.xml?
Yes it's possible.
first you need to add bellow code in ApplicationRealm
<server-identities>
<ssl>
<keystore path="server.keystore" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" keystore-password="abcd1234" alias="server" key-password="abcd1234"/>
</ssl>
</server-identities>
Then you required to add lisner for both http and https
<server name="default-server">
<http-listener name="default-http" socket-binding="http"/>
<https-listener name="default-https" socket-binding="https" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
</host>
</server>
Now configure the connector for both http and https
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:2.0">
<endpoint worker="default"/>
<http-connector name="http-remoting-connector" connector-ref="default-http" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
<http-connector name="https-remoting-connector" connector-ref="default-https" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
</subsystem>
But generally people won't keep enable both http and https. They redirect the request from http to https.

Connecting Apache and Tomcat using mod_proxy_ajp works but JDBC then fails

I have a working Apache 2.2.16 on Debian Squeeze that serves some PHP applications from /var/www/ using different domains (e.g. phpApp1.com, phpApp2.com).
I also have a working Tomcat 7.x that lives in /opt/tomcat/ and servers a JSF+JPA application that lives in /opt/tomcat/webapps/MyApp/.
So MyApp can be accessed through e.g. myapp.com:8080/MyApp/home.html or phpApp1.com:8080/MyApp/home.html (because of the port). Since I wanted this to be myapp.com/home.html instead, I connected Apache and Tomcat using mod_proxy_ajp using the following config files:
An Apache virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/MyApp
<Virtualhost *:80>
ServerName myapp.com
ServerAlias *.myapp.com
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
</Virtualhost>
And a Tomcat virtual host in /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml
<Host name="myapp.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Context path="" reloadable="true" debug="0" docBase="MyApp" />
<Alias>www.myapp.com</Alias>
</Host>
This works to the point that I cann access http://myapp.com/home.html and get a correct html page including css, images and js. So the AJP connector in tomcat should work.
BUT the app fails to establish a JDBC connection that otherwise works fine. It does not matter whether i use myapp.com or myapp.com:8080, it fails either way. However, it works if I access my app throug http://phpapp1.com:8080/MyApp/home.html. It only fails when I use the proxy-domain "myapp.com".
Has anyone experienced similar problems when using AJP and JDBC? How can I solve this? I had the same problem when using mod_jk, which makes use of AJP, too. Thanks in advance.
Update 1
#Mark Rotteveel: What do you mean by "connecting directly"? I mean the JDBC connection is working if I use one of the domains that are not listed as virtual hosts in tomcats server.xml.
Here is the connection error:

I finally got it to work. If you create a virtual host in tomcat, you have to put an exact copy of your applications /META-INF/context.xml into /tomcat/conf/Catalina/domain.com/ and name it context.xml.default. Well, I don't know if this is always the case, but for my setting it was. So these are my current config files that do the job:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com
<Virtualhost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / ajp://my.server.ip:8009/
</Virtualhost>
/tomcat/conf/server.xml
<Host name="domain.com">
<Context path="" docBase="MyApp" />
<Alias>www.domain.com</Alias>
</Host>
I tried this after reading this thread on coderanch.com from 2006 (the authors solution is in the last post). I did not change the web.xml or context.xml since this was not a misconfiguration of the <Resource> element. Anyway, thanks for your attempts to help :)
Make sure you have your mysql-connector-j.x.y.z.jar file in exactly one place: Tomcat's lib directory. Make sure you don't have a stray copy in any of your webapps' WEB-INF/lib directories.
Two unrelated tips:
Don't use autoReconnect
Use /* ping */ SELECT 1 as your validation query: recent versions of Connector/J will use a lightweight "ping" instead of actually issuing a query in order to test a connection's validity
