Re: [epf-dev] Cant see client IP addresses in EPF Wiki when using ProxyPass
Hi John,
http://epf.eclipse.org is not behind a proxy so this is different.

Can you try the following.

In the rb file app/controllers/login_controller.rb there is a line in the login method
@user.update_attributes({:http_user_agent => request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], :ip_address => request.env['REMOTE_ADDR'] , :last_logon => Time.now, :logon_count => @user.logon_count + 1, :logon_using_cookie_count => @user.logon_using_cookie_count + 1})

Replace REMOTE_ADDR with HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and then restart the app server.

This might help, I'm not sure I haven't tested this. Of course your proxy server shouldn't be an 'anonymous' proxy server, if that is the case there is no way to get the IP.

HTH,
Onno

In the EPF wiki "Manage->Users" screen we only see the IP address of the Apache Server that is sitting in front of the EPF wiki and passing through the client requests via ProxyPass. It was my understanding that the X-Forward HTTP headers should be honoured in the logging but it seems not. Does this issue arise in the Main eclipse EPF Wiki? If not can you tell me how you manage to get the real client IP addresses to appear?

Thanks,
John
