Hi All,
We are trying setup a suitable switch to SSL method for our Wicket application. I have read the wiki page regarding SSL switching: http://www.wicket-wiki.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Switch_to_SSL_mode but this does not solve our problem. We have apache and mod_proxy in front of Tomcat. Our wicket application will be used on multiple domains, so we can't hard code the hostname into our application for SSL switching because that will depend on which domain name was used for the request. Getting our application to sense the calling hostname is also not appropriate because some users (a from a third party network) will be accessing the application by IP via a NAT'ed connection, so the hostname sensed by the Servlet would be incorrect. Also, we want the application to work from our internal network on the default Tomcat port of 8080. In short, we want Apache to handle SSL switching by redirecting (using mod_rewrite) to the SSL URL. Apache already knows the hostname(s) it is controlling, so no hard coding of hostnames in the application would required - far more versatile in our opinion. To get this to work properly however, an HTTP GET is required. Using the REDIRECT_TO_BUFFER RenderStrategy causes HTTP 302 redirects to a new friendly URL (via HTTP GET). This is perfect, except that apache can't tell the difference between pages that we wish to be secured, and those that we do not. So here's the question: Is it possible for us to modify the URL (perhaps by adding a GET parameter) generated for the HTTP 302 as generated by using the REDIRECT_TO_BUFFER RenderStrategy? I hope this makes sense! :) Kind regards, Dipu. |
