IAM: Incorrect VSC session IP address

Products

• CA Application Test
• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

From IAM, VS Catalog session info, All IP addresses in ‘From address’ is 127.0.0.1.

This is not correct because, launched browser from a laptop and connecting to VSC.

So, it should be the laptop’s IP address. Security-admin-console’s from IP address is showing the correct laptop’s IP address

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

It's the default behavior of Keycloak.

Resolution

There is one active session in localhost for virtual-service-catalog client(localhost=127.0.0.1) and one session for the laptop, so only it shows two active sessions.

From wherever you log in to that client, it will show that IP address.

If for eg: the server is started and running in one machine and you are launching the vsc or portal from that same machine, it will show active session as 127.0.0.1
