AdvertiseSecurityKey and controlling which JBoss/httpd servers connect through mod_cluster

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • How does the mod_cluster AdvertiseSecurityKey function?
  • I have multiple JBoss and httpd environments (prod, test, dev, etc.) all using mod_cluster. It's easy for JBoss to accidentally connect to the wrong httpd server from a config error. We tried using AdvertiseSecurityKey to limit allowed httpd/JBoss connections, but it appears to have no impact on the JBoss servers that httpd allows to connect to it. Is there something else we should use on httpd to control what JBoss nodes it allows?

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6
  • mod_cluster
