Configuring Apache Load balancer URL

Problem Statement :

You have a clustered environment with 2 or more nodes or you have an Apache layer between the user and your application servers. The users access your application interfaces through the Apache layer, which is responsible for load-balancing, SSO, etc. But when you load the portal or admin console you find that some resources are directly referenced from the application server nodes instead of going through Apache.

Resolution :

Put the following into a file (101CustomLoadBalancer.xml) and place it at

/app/websphere/<DMGR_PROFILE>/config/cells/<CELL>/nodes/<NODE>/servers/<APP_TARGET_JVM>/process-<center/server>/config
