Running jira and confluence over https

Shib Saha

Hi All,

We have Jira and Confluence hosted on the same server at different port(Jira:8080 and Confluence:8090) and currently accessible through servername and port.

Now the business requirement is to run both the applications over https, at atlassian site a basic document is available but it is mentioned in the doc that "It is by no means a definitive or comprehensive guide to configuring HTTPS and may not apply to your environment."

I would request you all if anyone have completed this activity with same setup, please guide me.

Even your little help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Shib Saha

There are a lot of possibilities here, however you do it, and there's probably an entire book that could be written. To avoid that, could you give us an idea of your broader goal?

Https, yes, good, you should be doing that for any system that people might write to. Http is, nowadays, only for static read-only sites where security is not needed.

I'm thinking more of structure and https. My personal preference is "one url, with different areas", so you end up with https://somewhere.com , https://somewhere.com/confluence , https://somewhere.com/jira , https://somewhere.com/otherstuff , and so-on.

I mostly use a proxy server to do that sort of stuff though. And I offload SSL to the proxy, to get better performance on the back-end.

As you can tell, this could be quite a long discussion, but let's try to keep it simple.

SSL (https) is a given
What structure do you want for your sites?
Are you happy to use a proxy server (nginx, apache, lightppd, IIS, even a load-balancer, etc)?

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

so you set up the URLs for tools on the same server with a reverse proxy is that right?

hi Nic,

Thanks for your help.

Considering our current setup, it would be fine If we can setup a structure where Jira and Confluence exists on separate URLs. Something like the following:

https://abcJira.com

https://abcConfluence.com

Now this is not a hard requirement and if having https://abcjira.com and https://abcjira.com/confluence is easier to implement, the business would be onboard with that as well.

I am exploring what the SSL costs would be if we chose different domains though so in that sense, the first option is more preferable.

We are working with NetScaler for some other applications so using a proxy server would be feasible.

What do you think would be a good starting point here?

Thanks a lot for your help.

A reverse proxy is my personally preferred route, probably because it's what I'm most familiar with (it's also good to offload the SSL on to the proxy, is easier to integrate into larger web sites, and it's very similar to load balancers when you scale up to data-centre, and most of our clients are doing it, so it's good to practice)

Is that what you are aiming for?
