I have installed latest Rundeck on OL8 server, followed https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/administration/install/linux-rpm.html
When I access http://localhost:4440 (on the local machine) the application is started normally and usable.
When I access it using its FQDN on same port, it ends after approx 30-60 sec in connection timeout in /j_security_check.
There is no loadballancer, firewall or ay other OS blocking method in place.
It happends on every browser and with both (privacy)modes
I tried changing several rundeck-config.properties and other, restarted service each time after change but no luck. Also tried to run nginx proxy in front, but also not succesfull

What is preventing the application to run "normally" on FQDN port 4440?

Hello  Bert vdrHorst,

With my experience I observed that j_security errors occur when we are having flow opening issues, please check whether you have access to the ldap server and provide the correct port number. 

Thanks,
Saritha Rani

Hi Saritha,
Thanks for your reply.
Running it locally, I am not aware I have/need an LDAP server? 
When accessed through http://localhost:4440 the application is usable, so the LDAP connection is there?
Can I log some of that LDAP connectivity somewhere?
Help appriciated,
Bert
