Error description
The "Click Here To Access" link in the Admin UI (see Customization/Customization) always useses the server's IP address and an http protocol. The IP address affects applications that access the Admin UI using a load balancer. The fixed http protocol prevents secure access.
Local fix
STRRTC - B2BISFG-52886 JW / JW Circumvention: <None / workaround>
Problem summary
Users Affected: B2B Integrator v6.0, 6.0.3.2 Problem Description: Customization UI always uses IP address in the URL used to access the site. This causes issues when the Sterling Integrator/Sterling File Gateway is accessed via Load Balance. Also, after upgrading, the customization UI throws the following error "Site is not secure." Platforms affected: ALL
Problem conclusion
Resolution Summary: A code fix is provided. New behavior is introduced to enable customization of the internal URL used to access the customization UI. The new behavior allows the protocol, server name, and port to be overidden by properties and properties to be overridden by environment variables. By default, the URL is generated using the protocol and server name used to access the Admin UI. The port is determined by the protocol and obtained from either LIBERTY_PORT or LIBERTY_HTTPS_PORT properties both defined in sandbox.cfg. The protocol and servername may be overridden by (2) new properties (customization.ui.protocol and customization.ui.host) defined in ui.properties. In addition, a new environment variable (LIBERTY_EXTERNAL_PROTOCOL) has been introduced. If any of these variables are defined, each overrides the corresponding property. To disable the new behavior and restore the prior behavior, change the value of a new property in ui.properties called enable.customization.ui.url.override to false. Delivered In: 6000303
