When EAM is accessed through a proxy (load balancer or proxy server), it is essential that the proxy support the following behavior

  • Session cookies

    • In stateless mode, a cookie called JSESSIONID is set to maintain session state. The same cookie is set in stateful mode.

    • In stateless mode, a proxy must not enforce sticky sessions when it sees this cookie.

  • When EAM issues an http redirect, a proxy must modify the response to point to its own address

    • When EAM issues a redirect, the target of the redirect operation will be the EAM server itself, not the proxy

    • If the proxy does not modify the redirect response from EAM, the browser will attempt to connect directly to EAM and bypass the proxy. This behavior must be avoided.
