Hi,

My problem is the default redirect url:  
FLOWABLE\_COMMON\_APP\_IDM-REDIRECT-URL: full url of the IDM app; used for client browser redirection (f.e. [http://localhost:8080/flowable-idm](http://localhost:8080/flowable-idm))

I connect to a Docker Server over VPN … so the flowable idm’s url is something like 10.8.0.1:8500/flowable-idm …

is it right that i must use the redirect url for [http://10.8.0.1:8500/flowable-idm](http://10.8.0.1:8500/flowable-idm).  
So if i am on an other subnet … the redirect doesen’t work… or is there a other solution for the redirect ?

Should container link working with IDM redirect url ?  
`- FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM-REDIRECT-URL=http://flowable-idm-app:8080/flowable-idm`  
if i do so my redirect url looks like

`http://flowable-idm-app:8080/flowable-idm/#/login?redirectOnAuthSuccess=true&redirectUrl=http://172.18.0.4:8080/flowable-modeler/`

Hi,

Perhaps I don’t understand what the issue is you’re having. But, as you stated, the `FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM-REDIRECT-URL` is used for the client browser redirect. This implies that this endpoint must be accessible from the client.  
`FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM-URL` is used for inter server communication. In other words; this endpoint must be accessible for the other Flowable containers.

Is this the case in your situation?

Regards,

Yvo

But there is one thing which is a little problem …

If you access the modeler by an other subnet as the redirect is … so modeler is access under [http://10.8.01:8502/flowable-modeler](http://10.8.01:8502/flowable-modeler) … it redirects on the redirect url [http://172.18.0.1:8500/flowable-idm](http://172.18.0.1:8500/flowable-idm) … and this results in a permanent redirect … so no login is possible to modeler.

The different Flowable UI apps need to be accessible for the client / browser with the same hostname.  
This is needed in order for the browser to read the cookie.  
It seems this is the problem you having now.

F.e. a reverse proxy can be used for this.

Regards.
