Looks like this was the solution:

 

BaseURL need to be fixed

 

../conf/server.xml

 

<Connector port="8090" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"

maxThreads="48" minSpareThreads="10"

enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"

protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"

scheme="https" secure="true" proxyName="myserver.tld" proxyPort="443"/>

Yes forgot to mention,

scheme="https" secure="true" proxyName="myserver.tld" proxyPort="443"

inside Connector is also required.

If your certificate is generated for `mail.nochricht.de` it will only work for this domain and not for any other domain like `myserver.tld`

Also when setting up reverse proxy with Apache HTTPD `VirtualHost` config, value of `ProxyPass` and `ProxyPassReverse` has to be same.

ProxyPass / http://mail.nochricht.de:8090/
ProxyPassReverse / http://mail.nochricht.de:8090/

You can also use `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` in place of `mail.nochricht.de` if you are running Conflunce on same server (using internal IP is best) in `ProxyPass` and `ProxyPassReverse` config.
