Hi there,
We are facing a problem of Tomcat changing the DNS name (xyz.abc.com) to the internal 
machine name (machine1.Company.com:<port>). This peculiar behaviour happens only when 
we do not give index.jsp at the end of the URL. (i.e.) https://xyz.abc.com/context/ - 
This gets changed to https://machine1.company.com:<port>/context/index.jsp. But if we 
give https://xyz.abc.com/context/index.jsp, the referer name remains the same.
 
Our environment is Tomcat 4.1.27 with AJP13 connector to iPlanet web server over SSL. 
We found that (from the debug files generated on AJP13 connector) the host (and 
referer) name changes once the authentication is complete. Since the domain name 
changes to the machine name, one more authentication popup window comes up. Although, 
it changes the URL with the machine instead of domain, the application works without 
any issue. But we do not want the user to see the machine name with the port in a site 
with SSL instead of given domain name.
 
Earlier we had an environment with Tomcat 3.2.4 with AJP13 connector to IPlanet. It 
was working fine in that environment. When we changed it to Tomcat 4.1.27, we 
encountered this peculiar issue. We are not sure, if this has some thing to do with 
Tomcat configuration. We are doubtful, if Tomcat 4.1.27 requires a changed setting at 
the iPlanet web server.
 
We spent considerable time by changing the different attributes to connector tag in 
server.xml and we could not derive any solution for this issue. Can anyone help us 
with this issue? Your timely inputs are highly appreciated.
 
Best regards,
Sridhar
