Need to redirect to static url based off of string patter match in uri

apache-2.2mod-proxymod-rewriteregex

I have siteminder protecting an Oracle ADF java faces app. It appears I am going to have to intercept an http reqeust for the logout link delivered by Oracle in order to kill the siteminder session. I have narrowed it down to a parameter in the URI logout=true always being present when a user is logging out. I would like mod_rewrite to find this string and redirect to a static logout page defined locally to the apache proxy.

Is this feasible?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)logout=true(.*)$
RewriteRule .* http://yourserver/your_static_uri [R,L]

Apache – How to Redirect URL Within Apache VirtualHost

Turns out mod_rewrite rules are fine in the VirtualHosts file, apart from the RewriteBase rule. I ended up with this:

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName www.example.com
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>

EDIT: on the advice of joschi in the comments, I'm now using this simplified version using the Redirect directive from mod_alias:

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName www.example.com
  Redirect 301 / http://example.com/
</VirtualHost>

Retain original request URL on mod_proxy redirect

If you're running Apache >= 2.0.31 then you might try to set the ProxyPreserveHost directive as described here.

This should pass the original Host header trough mod_proxy into your application, and normally the request URL will be rebuild there (in your Servlet container) using the Host header, so the schema location should be build using the host and path infos from "before" the proxy.
