Configuring Tomcat to Work with a Load
Balancer
When working with a load balancer, you may need to enable a few attributes in Tomcat’s server.xml file
to ensure that Tomcat and the load balancer communicate properly.
The JAMF Software Server (JSS) allows you to enable the following attributes without requiring you to
access the server.xml file manually:
Remote IP valve
• Proxy port
Proxy scheme
•
To enable these attributes, the JSS must be installed as the “ROOT” web application and the user running
the Tomcat process must have read/write access to Tomcat’s server.xml file.
To configure Tomcat to work with a load balancer:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click the General Settings link.
4. Click the Server Configuration tab.
5. Click the Tomcat Configuration tab.
6. Click the Configure link across from an attribute to enable it.
7. Click Save.
8. Restart Tomcat for the changes to take effect.
