Proxy renamer

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I've a working JForum with some base url like "green.xyz"
This is not a public DNS name and to give external access I'm using some sort of "proxy renamer" like "green.xyz.rename.com"
Everything is working except login, the redirect url is "green.xyz".
We can log in first with "remember me" option then go back to "green.xyz.rename.com".
I think this is some problems with ContextPath but I dunno how to get & redirect on the real path

Thank's in advance if you could help me.

I haven't tried, but was wondering myself about "forum.link" in WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties

Humm forum.link is overwriten in jforum-custom.conf and this is not the heart of the problem but just detect the realcontext path as we can do in php with X_FORWARD_HOST.
Sure I've to read more doc on HttpServlet interface ...

It's OK now, like in php X_FORWARD_HOST is set from headers.
So I've made small changes in UserAction.java / validateLogin()

//NOTE: here we only want to set the redirect location if it hasn't already been
//set.  This will give the LoginAuthenticator a chance to set the redirect location.
if (JForumExecutionContext.getRedirectTo() == null) {
  JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(this.request.getContextPath()
  + "/forums/list"
  + SystemGlobals.getValue(ConfigKeys.SERVLET_EXTENSION));
}

//NOTE: here we only want to set the redirect location if it hasn't already been
//set.  This will give the LoginAuthenticator a chance to set the redirect location.
if (JForumExecutionContext.getRedirectTo() == null) {
  String forwared_host = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-Host");
  if(forwared_host == null) {
    JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(this.request.getContextPath()
    + "/forums/list"
    + SystemGlobals.getValue(ConfigKeys.SERVLET_EXTENSION));
  } else {
    JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(this.request.getScheme() +"://" + forwared_host
    + "/forums/list"
    + SystemGlobals.getValue(ConfigKeys.SERVLET_EXTENSION));
  }
}

That's all? only this piece of code will solve the problem forever? Nice

Yeah only this piece of code, but I think this should be applyed on AdminAction.java / login too, I've to check where JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect() and request.getContextPath() are used. Maybe it will be better to handle that globally in ActionServletRequest.java
More soon
