Setting up confluence with HAProxy

[Andrew Meyer]

I would like to setup Confluence with HAProxy, but am unsure how to start.  Has anyone done this or have any examples to follow?  I currently have 1 server running confluence.

Has anyone managed to get this working? I have a basic configuration working, but it appears to have broken WebSudo...

Hi, 

take a look at this confluence knowledgebase article: 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/websudo-login-issues-with-haproxy-829068354.html 

If you remove the parameter "indirect" in cookies options the problem should be solved. For me it worked fine :-) 

Best regards
