Confluence behind the nginx with SSL

Frankie

I'd like to install confluence behind the nginx with ssl support, so my scheme is:

user -> nginx (https) -> tomcat (http)

Could you please show me correct nginx and tomcat configs for this purpose.

Thanks.

Hi Frankie,

in order to do that you need to perform the following operation :

- Set Confluence context path

Edit the following file <CONFLUENCE_INST_FOLDER>/conf/server.xml, locate "Context" and add the context path (eg ... path="/confluence" ...)

- Set the proxy to the Connector

Edit the following file <CONFLUENCE_INST_FOLDER>/conf/server.xml, and add your proxy

<Connector port="8090" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"

connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"

proxyName="www.example.com" proxyPort="80" />

- Setup you NGNIX

Set the following :

server {

listen www.example.com:443;

ssl on;

ssl_certificate /path/to/self-ssl.crt;

ssl_certificate_key /path/to/self-ssl.key;

server_name theos.in;

location / {

....

...

proxy_pass http://localhost:8090/confluence;

}

}

- Update Confluence URL accordingly
