  • 1.  CABI Summary dashboard keeps spinning when invoking it via a proxy

    Posted Oct 11, 2019 05:09 AM
    Hello,
    I'm running UIM 9.0.2 and UMP 9.0. with cabi 3.4 probe
    Accessing CABI directly (http://<cabi server>/cabijs) OR from UMP (Unified Dashboard -> CABI -> Summary Dashboard) work fine.  

    Then I've configured a proxy (Apache) as follows in front of the UMP so that external customers can access UMP from the internet which also works fine

    ...
    ProxyPass /cabijs ajp://<cabi server address>:8009/cabiji
    ProxyPass / ajp://<UMP server address>:8009/
    ...

    BUT invoking CABI/Summary Dashboard is NOT working !! 
    Hitting "Preferences" of the portlet, I can see the CABI URL (full) which won't be accessible from external !!

    If the url can not be reached through the proxy server there is no way it can work.
    The ump is not acting as a proxy server to the cabi server it is more like an iframe.
    So if the source is not reachable from external it will not work.

    Thanks Gene for your reply.
    I'm confused because I thought that is possible as per the Article ID: 91906 "Access to CABI using Apache server"

    Please clarify.

    Thanks

    per that article, you are to allow access through the proxy server to the cabi server
    On the Apache server, open the httpd.config file.
    Before "ProxyPass / ajp://<ump_internal_ip>:8009/", add in the following:
    ProxyPass /cabijs ajp://<cabi_internal_ip>:8009/cabiji

    Think of the portlet in UMP as just another TAB in a browser.
    If you can not reach it in another tab on the browser then UMP can also not display it for the end-user.

    If you're a MSP, how would you give access to CABI dashboard to your clients that you're managing then ?
    For UMP, the solution is using a Apache server as a proxy.
