[[_bind-address]]
|
|
|
|
=== Bind Addresses
|
|
|
|
By default {project_name} binds to the localhost loopback address `127.0.0.1`. That's not a very useful default if
|
|
you want the authentication server available on your network. Generally, what we recommend is that you deploy a reverse proxy
|
|
or load balancer on a public network and route traffic to individual {project_name} server instances on a private network.
|
|
In either case though, you still need to set up your network interfaces to bind to something other than `localhost`.
|
|
|
|
Setting the bind address is quite easy and can be done on the command line with either the _standalone.sh_ or
|
|
_domain.sh_ boot scripts discussed in the <<_operating-mode, Choosing an Operating Mode>> chapter.
|

|
|
$ standalone.sh -b 192.168.0.5
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `-b` switch sets the IP bind address for any public interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you don't want to set the bind address at the command line, you can edit the profile configuration of your deployment.
|
|
Open up the profile configuration file (_standalone.xml_ or _domain.xml_ depending on your
|
|
<<_operating-mode, operating mode>>) and look for the `interfaces` XML block.

<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
|
|
</interface>
|
|
<interface name="public">
|
|
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
|
|
</interface>
|

</interfaces>

The `public` interface corresponds to subsystems creating sockets that are available publicly. An example of one
|
|
of these subsystems is the web layer which serves up the authentication endpoints of {project_name}. The `management`
|
|
interface corresponds to sockets opened up by the management layer of the {appserver_name}. Specifically the sockets
|
|
which allow you to use the `jboss-cli.sh` command line interface and the {appserver_name} web console.
|
|
|
|
In looking at the `public` interface you see that it has a special string `${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}`. This string
|
|
denotes a value `127.0.0.1` that can be overriden on the command line by setting a Java system property, i.e.:
|
|
|
|

|
|
$ domain.sh -Djboss.bind.address=192.168.0.5

The `-b` is just a shorthand notation for this command. So, you can either change the bind address value directly in the profile config, or change it on the command line when
|
|
you boot up.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: There are many more options available when setting up `interface` definitions. For more information, see link:{appserver_network_link}[the network interface] in the _{appserver_network_name}_.
