I've been clicking around the documentation, and so far not found this bit of information, so I apologize if its out there, and I've just not stumbled upon it. I was wondering if there's support for tomcat versions 8.5 or 9, or if this connector only works with versions 7 and 8.0?

Bilal-S commented 4 years ago

Yes Tomcat 8.5 & 9 are supported.

cmachemer-73 commented 4 years ago

Interesting, OK. I was able to upgrade from Tomcat 8.0.36 to Tomcat 8.0.53 with no problems. But I've also tried an 8.5 version and a 9.0 version, and both have failed with an error saying it can't connect to the AJP connector on port 8009, which I did enable, and set the secretRequired variable to false. Can you point me at some documentation that might help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Bilal-S commented 4 years ago

Yes. Tomcat made changes that require you to setup differently and enabled a request secret requirement. You need to define it on both sides of the connection. Please see docs for RequestSecret

Bilal-S commented 4 years ago

I just see you set that.

cmachemer-73 commented 4 years ago

Is it possible we're just using a version of the connector thats so old, that support for those versions wasn't there yet?  What i mean is, was some change necessary to add support for them at some point, or should any version of the connector support any of those versions of tomcat?On Jul 8, 2020 11:00 AM, Bilal Soylu notifications@github.com wrote: I just see you set that.

I see. Support for request secret has been in the connector for close to 10 years. The change was that is now turned on by default on the Tomcat side when it was previously optional.

I did a complete fresh install with latest Apache 9 and BonCode 1.0.41 and everything worked for me without a problem.

This is what I used:

    <Connector protocol="AJP/1.3"
               address="::1"
               port="8009"
               redirectPort="8443" secretRequired="false" />

One thing to note is that the AJP connector in the server.xml file on Tomcat is now commented out by default. Have you removed the comment markers <!-- --> around the AJP definition?

Bilal-S commented 4 years ago

Also a Tomat restart was required which I am assuming you already did.

cmachemer-73 commented 4 years ago

Yes, that was uncommented, and the server restarted. The one thing I don't yet have access to (I started with this company two days ago) is the IIS server where the connector lives. I'm only working on the tomcat side of things thus far, which is on a different box. Hopefully I can get that access tomorrow.

Might there be anything there that could help troubleshoot? A log showing what the error might be?

Normally once you have the connector working it should continue regardless of Tomcat version (with exception of discussed security setting for Tomcat).

If you get access to the IIS server I would also recommend that you install the latest version of connector.

Logging: You can turn on different levels of logging for the connector. See general docs on Logging and LogLevel setting. If it is protocol TCP/IP level problem you can also turn on Windows application logging for it which will capture some additional information.
