[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-146) Quotes in jsessionId causing sticky sessions to fail

Quotes in jsessionId causing sticky sessions to fail ---------------------------------------------------- Key: MODCLUSTER-146 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-146 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Environment: JBoss 6 M2, mod_cluster's httpd Reporter: Wim Vandenhaute Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere Fix For: 1.1.0.CR3 I am having an issue trying to setup sticky sessions for following configuration: 1 httpd front end 2 backend jboss instances What I am noticing is when running in a cluster, the JSESSIONID contains quotes like: Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID="DE0F7EEA2A5E90497D729DB27DDB4B25.192.168.7.11:8009:jboss.web"; Version=1; Path=/f00 Whilst not in a cluster: Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=355F9E370912DC10187A15E8B02260CD; Path=/foo Now when I am looking in the httpd logging I see: mod_proxy_cluster.c(1681): cluster: Found value "54F0CFC4961C9ED14A64335B40645392.192.168.7.11:8009:jboss.web" for stickysession JSESSIONID In my opinion the quotes around the jsessionid is causing mod_proxy_cluster to fail in finding the jboss node to which to "stick" to. I recompiled mod_proxy_cluster with "HAVE_CLUSTER_EX_DEBUG" set for more debugging info and this confirmed my suspicion: mod_proxy_cluster.c(1739): find_nodedomain: finding node for 192.168.7.11:8009:jboss.web": mycluster mod_proxy_cluster.c(1752): find_nodedomain: finding domain for 192.168.7.11:8009:jboss.web": mycluster Looking in the code this shows that it was unable to find the node, due to the ending quote in the route. As for my JBoss Setup: * Uncommented ModClusterListener in jbossweb.sar/META-INF/jboss-beans.xml * mod_cluster.sar/META-INF/mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml - changed ModClusterService to HAModClusterService - changed ${jboss.mod_cluster.advertise.enabled:false} to true As for my httpd setup: LoadModule proxy_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_ajp_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so LoadModule slotmem_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_slotmem.so LoadModule manager_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_manager.so LoadModule proxy_cluster_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_cluster.so LoadModule advertise_module /opt/jboss/httpd/lib/httpd/modules/mod_advertise.so LogLevel debug CreateBalancers 0 <VirtualHost *:80> <Location /mod_cluster-manager> SetHandler mod_cluster-manager Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from all # Allow from 192.168.7. </Location> <Directory /> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from all </Directory> ProxyPass /foo balancer://mycluster/foo stickysession=JSESSIONID scolonpathdelim=On nofailover=On KeepAliveTimeout 60 MaxKeepAliveRequests 0 ManagerBalancerName mycluster AdvertiseFrequency 5 </VirtualHost> Listen sebeco-dev-11:443 <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName sebeco-dev-11:443 SSLEngine on SSLProxyEngine on SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL SSLCertificateFile "/opt/jboss/httpd/httpd/server.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/jboss/httpd/httpd/server.key" SSLCertificateChainFile "/opt/jboss/httpd/httpd/server-ca.crt" <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> ProxyPass /foo balancer://mycluster/foo stickysession=JSESSIONID scolonpathdelim=On nofailover=On </VirtualHost> As my setup is not really complex at this point my gut says I am doing something wrong in the setup, but digging in the code shows the opposite. Any thougts? Best regards, Wim.
