Redirecting jira url from http to https

[Pooja]

Hi All,

we are changing the jira base url from http to https without SSL configuration, and by using the f5 Network.

Can someone help in understanding the below error lines

batch.js?locale=en-US:137 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://ibpmtsgservicedeskuat.infosys-platforms.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10100' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://10.205.58.44:8080/s/76ajj6/712001/6411e0087192541a09d88223fb51a6a0/1.0/_/download/resources/jira.webresources:global-static/wiki-renderer.css'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Regards,

Pooja

Hi @Pooja, 

as @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- said you have to configure SSL setting in jira server.xml to access Jira over https,

but if you are changing the jira base url from http to https without SSL configuration, you need to configure reverse proxy, 

i am using HAProxy to configure such resource

Thank you for the suggestion,

I forgot to mention that while trying to configure Reverse proxy we are getting this error

Could you explain what this below lines means, or like where we are failing in the configuration

batch.js?locale=en-US:137 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://ibpmtsgservicedeskuat.infosys-platforms.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10100' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://10.205.58.44:8080/s/76ajj6/712001/6411e0087192541a09d88223fb51a6a0/1.0/_/download/resources/jira.webresources:global-static/wiki-renderer.css'.

This error happens when you try to serve a non-SSL connection over an SSL protocol.

You need to decide whether you want a plain http connection or an SSL one.

@Pooja,

change your Jira base url to http , and configure reverse proxy to  forward all https request as http on jira server , if you are using HAProxy use below 

 acl uri_jira path_beg /jira

use_backend jira-backend if uri_jira

backend  jira-backend
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Proto https if { ssl_fc }
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Proto http if !{ ssl_fc }
server serv 127.0.0.1:8080/jira

>jira base url from http to https without SSL configuration,

That is nonsense.  Https is http over SSL.  The error you are getting happens because you're trying to use plain http over SSL.

You need to decide whether you want to use SSL or not (you should use SSL if the system is going to have any connection with the internet)

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

That is nonsense. (These type of Rash Responses will not be accepted).

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It's not a "rash response".  Blunt, yes, but it is absolutely accurate.  How is "I want to not use SSL over SSL" not nonsense?

You need to decide whether to use SSL or not.
