Phew.. that was a long title :). Was running into an issue with the setup shown in the picture below

![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7261/6985879760_2748debcfe_o_d.png "Web App Proxy Setup")

When we try to access the web site using https, the html content being served back was showing the app server name as the reference, rather than the web site.

So in this example, let’s say the web address was kudithipudi.org and the app server was app-server-kudithipudi, the HTML content was showing https://app-server-kudithipudi:8080 as the source.

Here’s how, we fixed it.

Edit the server.xml file found in $JBOSS\_HOME/server/$JBOSS\_PROFILE/deploy/jboss-web.deployer and update the HTTPS connector to use the web address (kudithipudi.org) as the proxyName.

**BEFORE**

```
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="250" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreFile="/opt/jboss/jboss-as/server/kudithipudi/conf/ssl/kudithipudi.keystore"
keystorePass="xxxxxx" />
```

**AFTER**

```
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="250" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
proxyName="kudithipudi.org" proxyPort="443"
keystoreFile="/opt/jboss/jboss-as/server/kudithipudi/conf/ssl/kudithipudi.keystore"
keystorePass="xxxxxx" />

```
