Redirection with JIRA
Setting up redirect within JIRA to mandate coming from Apache page (on RedHat 7).1. Install JIRA
Here's the default installation outcome for JIRA 7.13.1:
Installation Directory: /opt/atlassian/jira
Home Directory: /var/atlassian/application-data/jira
HTTP Port: 8080
RMI Port: 8005
2. Install httpd (sudo yum install httpd)
3. Edit the file at:
/var/www/html/index.html
Here's the content:
<html> <body> <p> <a href="http://10.10.0.1:8080/secure/Dashboard.jspa">Go to Jira</a> </p> </body> </html>
4. Start httpd (systemctl start httpd)
5. Edit this file:
/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml
JIRA uses tuckey's urlrewritefilter plugin to Tomcat. So you can refer to tuckey for additional instructions.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 4.0//EN" "http://www.tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite4.0.dtd"> <!-- URL Rewrite files to make issue navigator URL backwards compatible and some other things @since JIRA 3.3 --> <urlrewrite> <!-- Caching of static resources --> <class-rule class="com.atlassian.jira.plugin.webresource.CachingResourceDownloadRewriteRule"/> <!-- @since 5.0 [KickAss]--> <rule> <from>^/issues(\?.*)?$</from> <to type="permanent-redirect">issues/$1</to> </rule> <!-- Here is our sample rule --> <rule> <from>^/secure/Dashboard.jspa$</from> <condition name="referer" operator="notequal">^http://10.10.0.1/.*$</condition> <condition name="referer" operator="notequal">^http://10.10.0.1:8080/.*$</condition> <to type="redirect">http://10.10.0.1</to> </rule> </urlrewrite>
6. You have to restart JIRA for the changes to apply.
Remember, your start/stop script are located under /opt/atlassian/jira/bin
7. To verify that your rules are valid, from localhost browse to http://localhost:8080/rewrite-status. This will output the rewrite rule status.
