URL change

[fernando.pretel]

Hi all,

I have an eGw running in a server that can be reached by 2 URL:

• url1.com if you are in the LAN
• url2.com if you are outside the LAN

The problem comes when ppl from inside want to use eGw because eGw don’t discriminate wich URL are you using, so:

• If I configure url1.com as webserver_url the ppl from outside can’t log in eGw
• If I configure url2.com as webserver_url the ppl from inside can’t log in eGw

My question.

Can I change $GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘server’][‘webserver_url’] so it stores the URL that you place on the web-browser when you reach eGw??

If that could be done, $GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘server’][‘webserver_url’] whould store url1.com/ for inside traffic and url2.com for outside traffic, working perfectly

If you can help me…

Thx a lot.

Simply use just a path as webserver_url, eg. /egroupware instead of
http://domain.com/egroupware

Hi.

Hi all,

I have an eGw running in a server that can be reached by 2 URL:

• url1.com if you are in the LAN
• url2.com if you are outside the LAN

The problem comes when ppl from inside want to use eGw because eGw don’t discriminate wich URL are you using, so:

You can use proxy pass and proxy reverse to solve this

ie

we have two web servers, external, and internal (egroupware)

we use an internall address like

egroupwareserver.mydomain.com/egroupware

and an external address like

mydomain.com/egroupware

then in our external web server, we have in the listen.conf

a proxy pass

and a proxy pass reverse

from the /egroupware to https://egroupwareserver.mydomian.com/egroupware

also I recomend you to use https for external access and to require a valid client certificate, with SSLverifyclient require

of course, you must allow in your firewall to route to the internal web server. for this we use a different ip address for this traffic, and you need to have the proper settings in your firewall

hope this helps

Hi Ralf

Sorry I used the wrong identifier, my fault.

I use url1.com as HOST

I’ll try to explain myself better (sorry for my english).

I have 2 diferent URLS:
http://egw.domain.com <-- intranet
https://domain2.com/egw <-- public

Since they not only differ in the host but in the webserver_url… I’m quite stucked.

Thx a lot (it’s not the first time you help me here)

Hi,

I find your reply VERY usefull, I’ll send it to the system admin. I hope he can do something like this, but I’m not very confident. I think your solution might work, but I’m not sure if the admin will try to implement it, this is a public administration and that means that they usually try to work as little as they can.

X(((((

Thx for the answer anyway.
