      There are two configurations debated on this JIRA, the first seems to work O.K. with some concerns, the second one doesn't work at all .

      1. "ALPN hack", Oracle JDK8

      Hello, when you have this configuration of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.23 mod_cluster.conf and EAP 7.1 standalone-ha.xml and you start both servers, the worker correctly contacts the balancer and it is able to serve requests via HTTP/2.0. Although, I am mildly concerned about the irregular messages I can see during httpd <-> eap periodic 5s liveness verification (LBstatusRecalTime) with OPTIONS method and about connector's exceptions during sending MCMP messages. I haven't tried to let it run for days, but long-time impact is my main motivation for posting this. I parsed the log into corresponding blocks to illustrate situation on the balancer side and on the worker side.

      cap (wireshark)

      This is the recording of the initial communication worker -> balancer (registering message), balancer -> worker (response): JBEAP-11548_good.pcap, note port 8443 is the EAP's https connector and port 8747 is the Apache HTTP Server MCMP enabled, https enabled virtual host with both h2 and http/1.1 allowed, Protocols h2 http/1.1 and ProtocolsHonorOrder on.

      Start

      Both servers started, no client requests whatsoever. The first block is the very first communication between servers.

      2. ALPN via Wildfly OpenSSL + OpenSSL 1.0.2h + Oracle JDK8

      With the same Apache HTTP Server config as in the aforementioned case, i.e. mod_cluster.conf, and EAP 7.1 configured for Wildfly OpenSSL: standalone-ha.xml_openssl, the whole setup falls apart at the very beginning when worker contacts the balancer and then is unable to parse balancer's response. Noteworthy: If you put another EAP configured as an Undertow mod_cluster balancer in front of this worker, also with Wildfly OpenSSL, it works.

      cap (wireshark)

      This is the recording of the initial communication worker -> balancer (registering message), followed immediately by worker's crash during handshake, i.e. there is no balancer -> worker message: JBEAP-11548_bad.pcap, note port 8443 is the EAP's https connector and port 8747 is the Apache HTTP Server MCMP enabled, https enabled virtual host with both h2 and http/1.1 allowed, Protocols h2 http/1.1 and ProtocolsHonorOrder on.

      Balancer

      Everything appears cool, mod_manager.c(3104): manager_handler INFO OK, see the log snippet.

      Worker

      Falls flat on its face while processing balancer's response:

      Result

      No worker is registered, integration is broken. The same worker setup with another Wildfly (EAP) Undertow mod_cluster balancer works.

      WDYT guys, rhn-engineering-rhusar, sdouglas1@redhat.com, rhn-engineering-jclere?
