use apache web server / reverse proxy with matlab application

Hi,

I need to use our shibboleth SSO with a matlab web server application. I have matlab 2022b and the same version of matlab web server installed.

I try using this with reverse proxy but someting faild.

I follow this link: https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/93584-how-do-i-set-up-matlab-web-server-using-apache-as-an-httpd-server-on-windows-nt

but I have problems with this line:

3) Edit matweb.conf in $MATLAB/toolbox/webserver/wsdemos, where $MATLAB refers to the root MATLAB directory.

- Replace all instances of <MATLABSERVER_HOST_NAME> with name of the computer

- Replace all instances of $MATLAB with the actual path to where MATLAB is installed on your system (the root MATLAB directory).

can someone help me?

Thanks

Hello @dario.vettore,

It seems you're encountering difficulties while setting up a MATLAB web server application to integrate with Shibboleth SSO and configuring the reverse proxy with Apache in MATLAB 2022b.

Let's go through the steps to properly edit the `matweb.conf` file:

1. Access the `matweb.conf` File:

• Find the `matweb.conf` file within the MATLAB installation, typically located at:

$MATLAB/toolbox/webserver/wsdemos

Where `$MATLAB` is the MATLAB installation root directory.

For example, if MATLAB is installed in `C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b`, the path to the `matweb.conf` file would be:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\toolbox\webserver\wsdemos\matweb.conf

2. Edit with Administrator Privileges:

• Use a text editor with admin rights (e.g., right-click Notepad and select "Run as administrator") to open `matweb.conf`

3. Make Necessary Replacements:

• Change `<MATLABSERVER_HOST_NAME>` to the MATLAB web server's hostname or IP.
• Update `$MATLAB` with the full MATLAB installation path, ensuring you use forward slashes. For instance:

C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2022b

4. Follow MathWorks Documentation:

• Continue with the configuration steps as outlined in the MathWorks documentation here:
