Redirect ignores Alpine -context parameter

[patbaumgartner]

Current Behavior:

Having the Alpine parameter set on the Commandline -context /dtrack in the previous version of DT and now migrating to 3.8 leads to a redirect to /login without taking the context-path into account.

Steps to Reproduce:

java $JAVA_OPTIONS -DdependencyTrack.logging.level=$LOGGING_LEVEL -jar dependency-track-embedded.war -context /dtrack

Expected Behavior:

I would expect that -context is taken into account when redirects are made. This seems to be a regression because we had previously also problems with the -context parameter.

Environment:

• Dependency-Track Version: 3.8
• Distribution: Executable WAR
• Browser: Chrome

Additional Information:

Running it locally (java -jar dependency-track-embedded.war -context=/dtrack) shows that the -context path is totally ignored. Everything is directly served via / like /dashboards /projects /licenses and so on.

This might be a regression that came in with Alpine 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT.

This is a known limitation of the UI at the moment. The context works for the server's APIs, but not the UI at this time. If you need more control over UI context and other things (TLS, etc), you can optionally deploy the UI independently of the server.

Thank you so much for your super fast feedback. DT is deployed behind an NGINX with several other apps. Not sure if I want to face other issues when using the frontend and another backend deployment. Probably it's better to wait a bit more. Not sure how I can contribute to that issue.

Closing. Fixed in v4.0 - to be released soon.
