I have an application (.war) deployed in a Websphere Application Server v8. This app consists in a web application which is accessed by browser.
Now I have an IP Address that I want to ban but I don't find the option in the Administrative Console. Where I should ban this ip for to avoid the access this specifically application?
In WebSphere you have 2 options (depends if you directly access app server or through http server):
1 Directly via WebSphere admin console.
Go to:
Application servers > server1 > Web container transport chains > WCInboundDefault > TCP inbound channel (TCP_2)
In the Address exclude list enter client addresses you want to block
restart the server
2 Use IBM HTTP Server (based on Apache) and WebSphere Plugin, which is available with WebSphere and define Deny list using standard httpd.conf configuration.
Probably an IP filter isn't implemented by default in your application server, but it's easy enough to include an IP filter implemented in a servlet filter.
There's a nice intro to what filters can do on the Oracle site and plenty of readymade IP filters all over the web, like here or here. As you can see, the code needed is pretty simple, and as servlet filters are part of the EE spec, the result is portable between appservers as well.

We have haproxy and websphere in different machines to publish software. Software try to insert client's ip to database however it insert IP of haproxy. Programmers only use this code and they do not change.
ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
I got tcpdump and i can see client's ip is on x-forwarded-for tag of http layer. Software does not use this tag to get, i think. Is there any way to change x-forwarded-for to remoteaddress? Is there any tips to get client's ip without change software code? What should i do in the websphere servers or haproxy layer?
Websphere version 8.5.5.11
haproxy version 1.8
Well as websphere is a commercial product I would suggest to ask IBM which parameter should be set in websphere.
A short search in the Internet have bring up this page
Potential WebSphere Application Server problems when deployed behind a WebSphere-aware proxy server linked from this page HTTPServletRequest.getRemoteAddr/getRemoteHost starts to return WebSphere Plugin host value from 8.5.5.16 or 9.0.0.11.
Tomcat have for this the Remote IP Valve, I assume that websphere have a similar option.
I also strongly recommend to use a more recent version of HAProxy as the 1.8 will be soon end of live https://www.haproxy.org/ .
I have hosted Flask Web application on Windows Server on AWS, I have done followings
hosted it on IIS and add new bindings(port 8090) to web site
Created inbound rule for the port(8090) given in bindings
And it works fine on the server, but when i'm trying to access it on my PC's web browser says
it cannot reach took too long to respond
What else i need to do ?
In your vm, different provider has their security policy. For aws even you have set inbound port rule, it will not work. You also need to set inbound rules in their potal.
👉(1) Open Windows firewall, Create an Inbound Port Rule.
👉(2) Directly in Amazon Web Service console, exactly in security groups/inbound.
i am new in WAS so i configured WAS and also web server IHS then i created 2 application server
so through the web server the client can access the application then the traffic over HTTP to one of two application servers i created
integrate web server and 2 application server as an single endpoint then traffic distribute over applications server
like thie img how can i do that
so please can anyone help me in this?
You have to install on IHS the WebSphere Application Server plugin. Then generate the plugin config file. IHS will pass any http requests it cannot resolve to the plugin which will try to resolve to the known applications. If the plugin is not functioning properly then follow the instructions here to collect data and open an IBM Support ticket.
We are working with a client who is interested in having the Worklight Console app only accessible from an internal network. They are currently running Worklight on a Liberty server. Is it possible to have the Worklight console listen on a different port or different IP than the deployed Worklight apps (project war files)? If so, are there any docs on what would need to be modified (eg. server.xml, database, etc)? Thanks!

To limit access to Worklight Console you could change the console's port number as defined in the application server's server.xml file.
You could then limit access to that port (and possibly the context root used as well) from external traffic using the corporate firewall system or otherwise.
Because you did not mention your Worklight version:
If using v5.0.0.x - v6.1.0.x, you'll need to make sure you block only requests going to the console and not all runtime requests (because the console and the runtime share the same context root)
If using v6.2.0.x, the console has its own context root so less worries there
I have a web server that responds to a number of different sites on port 80. Currently, IIS does the mapping to various sites via host headers, but I'd like to be able to serve other web apps on port 80 hosted in Jetty or Tomcat. IIS prevents that by grabbing all port 80 traffic.
I basically need a reverse proxy to just change the port number to something that another app stack can listen in on. I was looking into nginx but it seems to not be quite ready for prime time on Windows. Eventually I may set up a Linux box specifically for this, but for now I'm interested in a solution which will run all on the same box.
All I really need is something very light which mostly just matches hostname/port and allows rewriting of the port. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you are running in IIS 7 or above you can use Application Request Routing for that: http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationRequestRouting
For IIS 5-6, it looks like Apache Tomcat Connector (JK 1.2) is a clean solution. This is an IIS ISAPI filter which allows IIS to act as a reverse proxy for other web servers. It uses Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) to communicate with the app server actually serving requests. Both Tomcat and Jetty implement AJP. URLs are mapped with regex-like config to a particular AJP server instance.
Overview: http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=40&page=3
IIS Config: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/iis.html
Mapping Config: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html
This ISAPI plug-in also works with IIS 7.x, but in that case the Application Request Routing (see marked answer) should be considered as it might work better with non-AJP servers.
