Unable to connect to remote server from Hawtio dashboard

Question

I have a camel web application running on remote-server-1 which is a tomcat 8 server. I have attached a jolokia jvm agent on this tomcat as follows-

java -jar jolokia-jvm-1.3.5-agent.jar start <PID>

I get the following response on my local machine by accessing http://remote-server-1:port/jolokia-

{
    "request": {
        "type": "version"
    },
    "value": {
        "agent": "1.3.5",
        "protocol": "7.2",
        "config": {
            "maxDepth": "15",
            "discoveryEnabled": "true",
            "maxCollectionSize": "0",
            "agentId": "***.***.***.**-16224-35a7a114-jvm",
            "debug": "false",
            "agentType": "jvm",
            "historyMaxEntries": "10",
            "agentContext": "\/jolokia",
            "maxObjects": "0",
            "debugMaxEntries": "100"
        },
        "info": {
            "product": "tomcat",
            "vendor": "Apache",
            "version": "8.0.35"
        }
    },
    "timestamp": 1491307702,
    "status": 200
}

I also have hawtio.war deployed on my local-tomcat8.5. When I try to connect to this remote agent, I am redirected to login page. I am not able to figure out where am I going wrong. Can anyone help me with this?

If you are using the runnable JAR version of Hawtio you can pass the parameter hawtio.proxyWhitelist also when starting the application:

java -Dhawtio.proxyWhitelist=SERVERNAME -jar hawtio-app-1.5.3.jar
