2. I have SJSWS 7.0 installed, which is acting as a reverse proxy. Origin server has an audit trail that logs all the IP addresses of users who used the site. But, the IP addresses that we are seeing now belong to the web server's IP. How do I forward client's (browser's) IP address to the origin server?

Please try to set the forward-ip SAF and have origin server take the Client-ip header value. For more information refer http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4841/aebjo?a=view

    I have configured reverse proxy for sun one web server 6.1. Interestingly, when I give the address of a default tomcat instance in the 'servers' attribute, everything is fine. But after I give the address of a confluence wiki instance (http://servername:8080/confluence) it gives a PASS1034: returning error code 400 .
    ( I observed that wikis.sun.com is on a confluence instance).
    The http://servername:8080/confluence actually gives http://servername:8080/confluence/login.action when tried on a browser separately.
    I tried adding a login.action in the find-index directive, but still nothing seems to work. Sun one tries to find index.html only, and since it does not get it gives the error.Any ideas ? Also, is this the right page to post such questions? Thanks !
