Hi,

Could you attach server responses by /uidl URL from Chrome developer console that are received by browser when you open an application page ?

It seems that your proxy does not resend headers for cookies. Can you check if you are properly configured cookies on proxy? Also, please ensure that you use stickysession mode, it is the only option that is required from load balancing proxy.

Thanks for your cookie settings hint. That was the key. Here is the link which solved our problem.

This was the key line:
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /myapp /

Thanks for your fast answer.
