crowd redirecting to https

[lance_lyons]

Hi, We have a second instance of crowd setup that we are doing some testing with. Its setup on the same web server as the previous crowd but listening at a different port (8097 instead of 8095).

If I go to the straight ip addresses it works and does not redirect to https

http://10.243.2.193:8097

and

http://10.243.3.11:8097

and

http://corp-jiraweb:8097

all work

however when we setup using a pretty name like crowd2.onlifehealth.com in DNS (10.243.3.33) and use F5 load balancer pool to redirect to crowd2.onlifehealth.com to http://10.243.2.193:8097 it does not work properly.

http://10.243.3.33

and

http://crowd2.onlifehealth.com

don’t work and seem to redirect to https://10.243.3.33/crowd/console/login.action or https://crowd2.onlifehealth.com/crowd/console/login.action

respectively.

Of course the https does not work.

Any ideas on what is happening here? Our network guys swear up and down that there is no redirect happening in the F5 and a fiddler trace verifies this.

We did create this second crowd instance from our working crowd instance (backup and restore from xml) however all of the crowd.properties, build.properties, etc all reflect http for urls in this instance.
