AEM: Using Reverse Proxy - Dispatcher

Question

Hello,

Could you please let me know how can we use reverse proxy to allow non aem server to post pages to a directory on the main domain on AEM site (Eg: www.yourdomainname.com/test-one)?

I have tried adding the below syntax in the vhost file in dispatcher module of Apache server for using reverse proxy. However, this didn't work and faced a 404 on dispatcher upon server restart. The reason might be dispatcher reverse proxies to the publish instance. How can we bypass this issue to setup reverse proxy?

ServerName www.yourdomainname.com

ProxyRequests off

RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For

Header set xxx-Proxy-Version "1.0"

ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass "http://xxx/test-one"

ProxyPassReverse "http://xxx/test-one"

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Location>

ProxyPass "http://xxx/test-one/(.*)"

ProxyPassReverse "http://xxx/test-one/(.*)"

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Location>

</VirtualHost>

Thanks,

Ram

Hi @ramtejareddy  - I would say, maybe you can enable the debug logging and check if the path is being proxied correctly.

Hi @ramtejareddy ,

Can you try changing the lines

ProxyPass "http://xxx/test-one"

ProxyPassReverse "http://xxx/test-one"

to

ProxyPass "/" "http://xxx/"

ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://xxx/"
Since your location is already set to "/test-one", this proxy rule should apply only to the URLs with /test-one in the path.

Also, For regex pattern like /test-one/(.*), you should use LocationMatch directive:
Ref: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#locationmatch

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Fani
