All Implemented Interfaces:: Filter

public class RemoteIpFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Servlet filter to integrate "X-Forwarded-For" and "X-Forwarded-Proto" HTTP headers.

Most of the design of this Servlet Filter is a port of mod_remoteip, this servlet filter replaces the apparent client remote IP address and hostname for the request with the IP address list presented by a proxy or a load balancer via a request headers (e.g. "X-Forwarded-For").

Another feature of this servlet filter is to replace the apparent scheme (http/https) and server port with the scheme presented by a proxy or a load balancer via a request header (e.g. "X-Forwarded-Proto").

This servlet filter proceeds as follows:

If the incoming request.getRemoteAddr() matches the servlet filter's list of internal or trusted proxies:

Loop on the comma delimited list of IPs and hostnames passed by the preceding load balancer or proxy in the given request's Http header named $remoteIpHeader (default value x-forwarded-for). Values are processed in right-to-left order.
For each ip/host of the list:
- if it matches the internal proxies list, the ip/host is swallowed
- if it matches the trusted proxies list, the ip/host is added to the created proxies header
- otherwise, the ip/host is declared to be the remote ip and looping is stopped.
If the request http header named $protocolHeader (e.g. x-forwarded-proto) consists only of forwards that match protocolHeaderHttpsValue configuration parameter (default https) then request.isSecure = true, request.scheme = https and request.serverPort = 443. Note that 443 can be overwritten with the $httpsServerPort configuration parameter.
Mark the request with the attribute Globals.REQUEST_FORWARDED_ATTRIBUTE and value Boolean.TRUE to indicate that this request has been forwarded by one or more proxies.

Configuration parameters
XForwardedFilter property	Description	Equivalent mod_remoteip directive	Format	Default Value
remoteIpHeader	Name of the Http Header read by this servlet filter that holds the list of traversed IP addresses starting from the requesting client	RemoteIPHeader	Compliant http header name	x-forwarded-for
internalProxies	Regular expression that matches the IP addresses of internal proxies. If they appear in the `remoteIpHeader` value, they will be trusted and will not appear in the `proxiesHeader` value	RemoteIPInternalProxy	Regular expression (in the syntax supported by `java.util.regex`)	10\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\|192\.168\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\| 169\.254\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\|127\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\| 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1\|::1 By default, 10/8, 192.168/16, 169.254/16, 127/8 and 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 are allowed.
proxiesHeader	Name of the http header created by this servlet filter to hold the list of proxies that have been processed in the incoming `remoteIpHeader`	RemoteIPProxiesHeader	Compliant http header name	x-forwarded-by
trustedProxies	Regular expression that matches the IP addresses of trusted proxies. If they appear in the `remoteIpHeader` value, they will be trusted and will appear in the `proxiesHeader` value	RemoteIPTrustedProxy	Regular expression (in the syntax supported by `java.util.regex`)
protocolHeader	Name of the http header read by this servlet filter that holds the flag that this request	N/A	Compliant http header name like `X-Forwarded-Proto`, `X-Forwarded-Ssl` or `Front-End-Https`	`null`
protocolHeaderHttpsValue	Value of the `protocolHeader` to indicate that it is an Https request	N/A	String like `https` or `ON`	`https`
httpServerPort	Value returned by `ServletRequest.getServerPort()` when the `protocolHeader` indicates `http` protocol	N/A	integer	80
httpsServerPort	Value returned by `ServletRequest.getServerPort()` when the `protocolHeader` indicates `https` protocol	N/A	integer	443
enableLookups	Should a DNS lookup be performed to provide a host name when calling `ServletRequest.getRemoteHost()`	N/A	boolean	false

Regular expression vs. IP address blocks: mod_remoteip allows to use address blocks (e.g. 192.168/16) to configure RemoteIPInternalProxy and RemoteIPTrustedProxy ; as the JVM doesn't have a library similar to apr_ipsubnet_test, we rely on regular expressions.

request.header['x-forwarded-by']	null	proxy1, proxy2

Note : proxy1 and proxy2 are both trusted proxies that come in x-forwarded-for header, they both are migrated in x-forwarded-by header. As 192.168.0.10 is an internal proxy, it does not appear in x-forwarded-by. x-forwarded-by is null because all the proxies are trusted or internal.

request.header['x-forwarded-by']	null	proxy1

Note : x-forwarded-by holds the trusted proxy proxy1. x-forwarded-by holds 140.211.11.130 because untrusted-proxy is not trusted and thus, we cannot trust that untrusted-proxy is the actual remote ip. request.remoteAddr is untrusted-proxy that is an IP verified by proxy1.

    Description copied from interface: Filter
    
    Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being taken out of service. This method is only called once all threads within the filter's doFilter method have exited or after a timeout period has passed. After the web container calls this method, it will not call the doFilter method again on this instance of the filter.
    
    This method gives the filter an opportunity to clean up any resources that are being held (for example, memory, file handles, threads) and make sure that any persistent state is synchronized with the filter's current state in memory.
    
    Specified by:

                     ServletException
```
    Wrap the incoming request in a RemoteIpFilter.XForwardedRequest if the http header x-forwarded-for is not empty. The doFilter method of the Filter is called by the container each time a request/response pair is passed through the chain due to a client request for a resource at the end of the chain. The FilterChain passed in to this method allows the Filter to pass on the request and response to the next entity in the chain.
    A typical implementation of this method would follow the following pattern:-
    1. Examine the request
    2. Optionally wrap the request object with a custom implementation to filter content or headers for input filtering
    3. Optionally wrap the response object with a custom implementation to filter content or headers for output filtering
    4. a) Either invoke the next entity in the chain using the FilterChain object (chain.doFilter()),
    4. b) or not pass on the request/response pair to the next entity in the filter chain to block the request processing
    5. Directly set headers on the response after invocation of the next entity in the filter chain.
    
    Specified by:
    
    doFilter in interface Filter
    
    Parameters:
    request - The request to process
    response - The response associated with the request
    chain - Provides access to the next filter in the chain for this filter to pass the request and response to for further processing
    
    Throws:

    Description copied from interface: Filter
    Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being placed into service. The servlet container calls the init method exactly once after instantiating the filter. The init method must complete successfully before the filter is asked to do any filtering work.
    The web container cannot place the filter into service if the init method either:
    - Throws a ServletException
    - Does not return within a time period defined by the web container
    Specified by:
    
    init in interface Filter
    
    Parameters:
    filterConfig - The configuration information associated with the filter instance being initialised
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if the initialisation fails
  - setChangeLocalName
```
public void setChangeLocalName(boolean changeLocalName)
```
    If true, the return values for both ServletRequest.getLocalName() and ServletRequest.getServerName() will be modified by this Filter rather than just ServletRequest.getServerName().
    
    Default value : false
    
    Parameters:
    changeLocalName - The new flag value
  - setChangeLocalPort
```
public void setChangeLocalPort(boolean changeLocalPort)
```
    If true, the return values for both ServletRequest.getLocalPort() and ServletRequest.getServerPort() will be modified by this Filter rather than just ServletRequest.getServerPort().

    Server Port value if the protocolHeader indicates HTTP (i.e. protocolHeader is not null and has a value different of protocolHeaderHttpsValue).
    
    Default value : 80
    
    Parameters:
    httpServerPort - The server port to use
  - setHttpsServerPort
```
public void setHttpsServerPort(int httpsServerPort)
```
    Server Port value if the protocolHeader indicates HTTPS
    
    Default value : 443
    
    Parameters:
    httpsServerPort - The server port to use
  - setInternalProxies
```
public void setInternalProxies(String internalProxies)

    Parameters:
    internalProxies - The regexp
  - setHostHeader
```
public void setHostHeader(String hostHeader)
```
    Header that holds the incoming host, usually named X-Forwarded-HOst.
    
    Default value : null
    
    Parameters:
    hostHeader - The header name
  - setPortHeader
```
public void setPortHeader(String portHeader)
```
    Header that holds the incoming port, usually named X-Forwarded-Port. If null, httpServerPort or httpsServerPort will be used.
    
    Default value : null
    
    Parameters:
    portHeader - The header name
  - setProtocolHeader
```

    The proxiesHeader directive specifies a header into which mod_remoteip will collect a list of all of the intermediate client IP addresses trusted to resolve the actual remote IP. Note that intermediate RemoteIPTrustedProxy addresses are recorded in this header, while any intermediate RemoteIPInternalProxy addresses are discarded.
    
    Name of the http header that holds the list of trusted proxies that has been traversed by the http request.
    
    The value of this header can be comma delimited.
    
    Default value : X-Forwarded-By
    
    Parameters:
    proxiesHeader - The header name
  - setRemoteIpHeader
```
public void setRemoteIpHeader(String remoteIpHeader)
```
    Name of the http header from which the remote ip is extracted.
    
    The value of this header can be comma delimited.
    
    Default value : X-Forwarded-For
    
    Parameters:
    remoteIpHeader - The header name
  - setRequestAttributesEnabled
```
public void setRequestAttributesEnabled(boolean requestAttributesEnabled)
```
    Should this filter set request attributes for IP address, Hostname, protocol and port used for the request? This are typically used in conjunction with an AccessLog which will otherwise log the original values. Default is true. The attributes set are:
    - org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.RemoteAddr
    - org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.RemoteHost
    - org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.Protocol
    - org.apache.catalina.AccessLog.ServerPort
    - org.apache.tomcat.remoteAddr
    Parameters:
    requestAttributesEnabled - true causes the attributes to be set, false disables the setting of the attributes.
  - setTrustedProxies
```
public void setTrustedProxies(String trustedProxies)
```
    Regular expression defining proxies that are trusted when they appear in the remoteIpHeader header.
    
    Default value : empty list, no external proxy is trusted.
    
    Parameters:
    trustedProxies - The trusted proxies regexp
  - setEnableLookups
```
public void setEnableLookups(boolean enableLookups)
```
