Bitbucket redirects itself to reverse proxy

Alexander_41kjky

We use Bitbucket, Confluence and Jira behind a reverse proxy which works just fine.

The problem is as follows: Jira as well as Confluence can still be called by their real server names which is handy in case the proxy is down for one reason or another (only from within the company network of course)

If you try to get to Bitbucket through its real name though, it redirects itself to the reverse proxy, which of course doesn't work as it is not reachable.

Is this normal? Can it be changed to be in line with Confluence and Jira?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Alexander,

This seems to be related to the proxy configuration rather than the application itself.

Can you share the configuration of the proxy used for Bitbucket Server? Also, which version of Bitbucket Server is installed?

Starting from 5.+, the proxy related configuration is in the bitbucket.properties file while before Bitbucket Server 4.x was using the server.xml Tomcat file.

 

More details on the difference between the 4.x and the 5.x versions can be found on the Migrate server.xml customizations to bitbucket.properties article.

 

Cheers,
