Connecting from one Hawtio to another
I'm struggling to get Hawtio remote connections working. I've two servers, both running Hawtio inside Karaf. One server is running an app server for a website and the other is running Camel and ActiveMQ to provide integration and messaging. I've an Apache reverse proxy in front of the messaging box, through which I can access Hawtio. I want to use this as the route in for administration tools.
My understanding is that I should be able to connect through the middleware box's Hawtio onto the app server's Hawtio. However, I can't get the connection screen to let me through. I've tried numerous combinations of IP addresses, hostnames, paths and clicked the "proxy" box on and off but to no avail. Sometimes a log-in screen appears but it appears if I put in nonsense as the hostname, so I think it is a red herring.
If I open up the firewall, I can access Hawtio directly on both boxes.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any guidance.

I eventually worked around this. Instead of installing Hawtio in every container, I only installed Jolokia. I then reverse-proxied this out of the web server layer and used the Chrome plug-in to connect to each container.
