Login module get client ip problem

Question

hi everyone,
   we have a custom login module and it works well.  But now a new requirement come out that we must do some check about the client ip address.
   I type my code like this:
((HttpGetterCallback) callbacks[1]).setType(HttpCallback.CLIENT_IP);
callbackHandler.handle(callbacks);
values[1] =((HttpGetterCallback) callbacks[1]).getValue().toString();
   But values[1] always return the portal server ip address, not the client.
The custom login module has been assigned into the logon stack 'ticket'.
  Anyone has some good ideas?
Thanks & regards

Usually you can retrieve the value of the client ip address using
owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_ADDR');But there is a problem when you use a proxy (i.e. Apache) in front of your XE installation.
Here is a workaround documented:
