What iptalbes rule is needed for "Cause 2: JIRA Applications with port forwarding configured"

Andy Airey

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: How to fix gadget titles showing as __MSG_gadget

The KB specifies to add a rule for localhost.

I already have the following rules:

Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination         
1    ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:161 
2    ACCEPT     udp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           udp dpt:161 
3    ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:8081 
4    ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:8080

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination         
Table: nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination         
1    REDIRECT   tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80 redir ports 8080 
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination         
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination         
1    REDIRECT   tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80 redir ports 8080

You need to add a REDIRECT rule on the OUTPUT table for localhost because connections to localhost do not pass through the PREROUTING table.

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
service iptables save
