How can I find if "reverse proxy" is used by Server Confluence?

Hello all,

I am going to upgrade Server Confluence and need to know if "reverse proxy" is used by Confluence.

How can I find if "reverse proxy" is used by Server Confluence?

Thanks.

Hi Yacob,

Your proxy settings would be listed in your Tomcat Configuration.

Have a look here:

Reverse Proxy and Application Link Troubleshooting Guide

Check the CONFLUENCE_INST/conf/server.xml file. If a reverse proxy is used, there should be some reference to it in the connector section. In our case, we use an AJP connector for Confluence & a HTML reverse proxy for the Synchrony part:

 <Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" port="8080" 
 address="192.168.x.y"
 enableLookups="false"
 redirectPort="8443"
 acceptCount="10"
 minSpareThreads="10"
 maxThreads="150"
 connectionTimeout="20000"
 URIEncoding="UTF-8"
 disableUploadTimeout="true"
 proxyName="publicsite.yourdomain.com"
 proxyPort="443"
 scheme="https"/>

 <Connector port="8009"
 minSpareThreads="10"
 maxThreads="150"
 address="192.168.x.y" // Same address other port 
 protocol="AJP/1.3"
 redirectPort="8444" 
 enableLookups="false"
 URIEncoding="UTF-8"
 maxPostSize="-1"
 packetSize="65536"/>

If you're using the standard connector on port 8080 & the URL you're using to connect to Confluence doesn't use port 8080 (like http://myconfluence.example.com:8080) then you're probably using a reverse proxy.

Hello,

Thank you Shannon and Jun-Peter.

I will look on the file server.xml and I hope to identify the type of Reverse Proxy and if used.
