1. Add portal.proxy.path=/portal to the portal-ext.properties
2. Configure apache to proxy through /portal to the app server:
3. Enable mod proxy:

   a2enmod proxy
   

4. Open /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
5. Insert the following lines:

   ProxyRequests On
   ProxyPass /portal ajp://localhost:8009
   ProxyPassReverse /portal http://localhost:8009
   

6. Start apache:

   service apache2 start

7. Open Control Panel -> System Settings -> API Authentication
8. Choose "Image Request" (or other) and no data appears.

I see request to "https://www.example.com/o/dynamic-data-mapping-form-field-types?p_auth=NqnbHHlm" (without the proxy.context.path specified in protal-ext.properties)
