i have the corporate web server on one machine and confluence on another, how do i link the confluence so when i go to the main site http://example.com/wiki it displays the confluence login on the other machine and the end user is never aware of the existance of a separate machine from browsing?

 

on the confluence machine under apache i'm using proxypass as follows:

        ProxyRequests Off

        ProxyPass / http://wiki.example.com:8090/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://wiki.example.com:8090/
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

and that works fine for browsing on the confluence machine.

 

on the corp web server apache config i have:

 

        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyPass /wiki/ http://wiki.example.com/
        ProxyPassReverse /wiki/ http://wiki.example.com/
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

and this does not work, i get a very strange url returned when i try to browse to http;//example.com/wiki/

 

http://example.com/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action&permissionViolation=true

 

and /wiki/ has been removed...

The corporate server should be set up to proxy the connection to Confluence.

This is a very common thing to do, and the standard docs are for Apache - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Running+Confluence+behind+Apache  (They're easy to translate to most other web servers, with the exception of IIS which is a bit more painful because it's not a great system, but still possible)
