In light of this, i have found an acceptable solution on my end that will
hopefully help other users who encounter this issue.
When the request comes in from
, i grab the token
from it as before, however i also look at the HTTP session and take the
external hostname, port, and scheme (http vs https).
I then use those values instead of
. for my next
hop.
In this way, I essentially reach "outside" the proxy for the next jump,
retrieve the external values from inside the proxy, and redirect the token
with the same host to pass through keycloak.
While it requires that external-hostname is able to be resolved from inside
the proxy, it prevents the need to store the host name value(s) in order to
make the next hop, and allows some flexibility in host name granted by a
relative auth-server-url.
Thanks,
Joe

It can't be done. What you are asking for is that the adapter
when
receiving the request on the internal IP is somehow going to be able to
resolve the relative auth-server-url which is using the external domain.
Unless you tell it what the external domain is it won't know.
