GlassFish 4.1 - simultaneous access to web admin console of two domains of the same GF

Question

I use GlassFish 4.1 - final release (downloaded from java.net). I have two domains - domain1 and domain2

The problem is that I can't work simultaneously with web admin console of two domains of the same GF server. I open admin of domain1 - everything is ok, at the same browser (firefox) but different tab I open admin console of domain2 - at this time server closes my access for the admin of domain1. What is the reason? How can it be fixed?

Answer 1

That is simply because you're accessing the two domains via URLs with the same host.

192.168.1.10:X
192.168.1.10:Y

Recall that the host portion is 192.168.1.10 and as with many other web-app, glassfish admin console use session cookies, which is unique per host. So what happen when you login to the second domain is, the session info from the first domain is lost / overwritten.

Easiest solution for this is use a different browser for each domain (eg: firefox for domain 1 and IE for domain 2) or open another window in incognito mode (if using google chrome)
