IAM redirect URL is pointing to default instead of the VIP host

Issue/Introduction

Some Customer environments will be configured to use VIP host (redirect URL) for Identity Access Manager and run into issue when accessing it.

For example, IAM is running on a on-premise machine and it can be accessed only through an EXPOSEDHOST (IAM endpoint). When acced IAM with the exposed URL like https://EXPOSEDHOST/auth/ it is internally redirecting to https://default-host:51111, and unable launch the IAM login page.

Is there any configuration involved to update default-host:51111? 

Environment

Release : 10.7 and later

Component : DevTest Identity Access Manager

Cause

Configuration change need to be done in IAM_HOME/bin/standalone.conf file

Resolution

It is recommended to check the server.log from "IAM_HOME/standalone/logs/" folder and check the values for below properties.

1. jboss.bind.address = 
2. jboss.bind.address.management = 

If the above properties will show 0.0.0.0 then that configuration caused the issue.

We recommend to change the below values in "IAM_HOME/bin/standalone.conf" configuration file.

# Allow external access
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.bind.address.management=0.0.0.0 -Djboss.bind.address=0.0.0.0"

TO

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.bind.address.management=EXPOSEDHOST -Djboss.bind.address=EXPOSEDHOST"
