When SSL terminates at the Access Manager
load balancer, the console application changes protocol from HTTPS
to HTTP.
When you try to access the Access Manager load balancer with a URL such
as https://loadbalancer:port/amserver/console or https://loadbalancer:port/amserver/UI/Login, you cannot access the login page because the console
application changes the protocol from HTTPS to HTTP.
Workaround: Add <property
name="relativeRedirectAllowed" value="true"/> to the sun-web.xml file for the individual instances
of Access Manager and restart them.
Caution – After applying the workaround, the only supported URL
is https://loadbalancer:port/amserver/UI/Login. It is highly recommended
that you access the Access Manager instances directly to perform any
administrative tasks rather than accessing them through a load balancer.
This workaround was tested on Sun Java Systems Web Server 7.
