Change Application Context Path#

To publish the application at a location other than /casa, do the following:

  1. Log into Janssen Server using SSH

  2. Edit tag <Set name="contextPath"> in file /opt/jans/jetty/jans-casa/webapps/jans-casa.xml with the new path you want to use. For example, if you chose /creds, you would do the following: 

      <Set name="contextPath">/creds</Set>

  3. Edit tag <Set name="contextPath"> in file /opt/jans/jetty/jans-casa/webapps/jans-casa_web_resources.xml appropriately with the new path you want to use.

  4. Adjust Apache's .conf file:

    • Locate the https_jans.conf file. The exact location will vary depending on your distribution. In Ubuntu, for example, you can find it at /etc/apache2/sites-available

    • Find the section starting with <Location /casa> and replace the 2 occurrences of casa with the path of your choice. Do not use trailing slashes

    • Add the following directive: Redirect /casa /<new-context-path> before all <Location> and <Proxy> sections

  5. Adjust custom script settings: adjust the "supergluu_app_id" property of the casa custom script accordingly

  6. Wait for around 1 minute (so the server picks the script changes), then restart Casa and Apache services. Use this page as a guide

  7. The application should be accessible now at the new URL.
