How to integrate Confluence with apache using ssl

[Thomas Van Gerven]

Hello,

can I use the How-To for JIRA (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA052/Integrating+JIRA+with+Apache+using+SSL) as a model for integrating confluence with apache using ssl?

Are there any differences I will need to pay attention to or can I just use it 1:1 for integrating confluence?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

Actually, both answers I received (being the same) did not take into account that I would like to access both platforms via https at the same time.

Maybe I should have mentioned that both, Jira and confluence, are running on the same machine.

My solution:

• Use one IP per platform (configure 2 IPs on the same server).
• Use wildcard certificate for SSL
• Use IP-based Virtual hosts configuration in Apache
• Use the How-to I quoted for BOTH, Jira and confluence set-up (server.xml), not the one quoted for confluence by both answers.

I hope this helps others who want to set up Jira and confluence on the same server using SSL.

Hi there,

You should just follow this documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Using+Apache+with+mod_proxy

Hi Thomas,

Confluence has it's guide at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Using+Apache+with+mod_proxy

In general, it should be similar as both deployed in Tomcat
