The following configuration has been performed in order to avoid Cross-Origin (CORS) problems with the new Abiquo client in HTML5 using Apache + SSL.

The best way to go approach is to complete all the previous steps, then we will have to do make the following modifications:

In the /opt/abiquo/tomcat/conf/server.xml, we should remove the connector which uses port 8010 and leave the file like this:

Code Block
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

The next step will be to modify /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf file and change ports from 8010 to 8009, which is the only connector we will use with the AJP. Keep on mind Remember to leave the AM location with the port 8010 as explained in the previous part "section (Adding SSL to AM"). The file should be like thisas follows:

Code Block
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so

...


<VirtualHost *:80>

...


RewriteEngine On

...


RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

...


</VirtualHost>

...


<VirtualHost *:443>

...


RewriteEngine On

...

...


ProxyPreserveHost On

...

...

...

...

...

...


</Directory>

...


RewriteRule ^/ui$ /ui/ [R]

...

...


<Location /am>

...


ProxyPass ajp://rsmaster:8010/am

...


ProxyPassReverse ajp://rsmaster:8010/am

...


</Location>

...


</VirtualHost>

 

And the The last file which needs to be modified modify is /opt/abiquo/tomcat/webapps/ui/config/client-config.json. Once there, Edit it and search for the "config.endpoint" attribute and leave it like this:, which should in this format:

Code Block
"config.endpoint": "https://servermaster:443/api"

Remember, Replace "servermaster" is with the hostname of the Abiquo server where the API and the client are running.

 

Last step is Then restart the abiquo-tomcat service on the API+client machine and the Apache as well.
