Upgrade: Verify and update the HTTP redirections for MobileFirst Server v6.3.0

If we are upgrading to MobileFirst Server on a clustered application server environment, you should also update IBM HTTP Server after you install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation v6.3.0.

If the MobileFirst Server upgrade is to be installed on a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment clustered environment or a WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile farm, you might have to update IHS after you install MobileFirst Server v6.3.0. For general information about installing these types of application server, see:

If the application server receives HTTP requests forwarded by an HTTP server, the HTTP server configuration may require updating.

For IBM HTTP Server, in the IHS plugin file the context root of the applications must be updated especially for the session affinity configuration section. The following example is a configuration for Application Center that is deployed with its default settings, and a project that is deployed with a root context of /worklight. 

<UriGroup Name="default_host_defaultServer_default_node_Cluster_URIs">
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" 
        Name="/worklight/*"/>
   <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid"
        Name="/applicationcenter/*"/>
   <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid"
        Name="/appcenterconsole/*"/>
</UriGroup>
