 Originally I tried with jboss.server.host set to 'lcbru-catissue-dev.rcs.le.ac.uk' - this caused infinite redirect loops, and is bad. It isn't clear what this config setting is used for, and if it is used for building page URLs then the full alias is needed. I've changed this now to the actual IP address of the server itself (but this will not work if supplied to a browser as a link to a resource). It is now possible to log in to CaTissue.
 
-There remains an issue with flex / caused by the fact that https is used to connect to the load balancer, but the JBoss connection itself is not securely piped. That isn't a problem because it is all behind the firewall of the load balancer, but flex doesn't like it. The solution as documented on a number of websites is to edit WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml:
