How to redirect http URL to https

xela citnad

How do I redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS? I have Jira installed on a Linux server. All I've done is edit the HTTPS portion in the server.xml file. My goal is that when users type 'http://jira.mydomain.com' in their browser, it redirects to 'https://jira.mydomain.com'. Right now, when they type 'http://jira.mydomain.com', it does bring them to Jira, but the page is unsecured & there's a mismatch warning/error at the bottom & they also can't login. As much help will greatly be appreciated.

HTTPS - Proxying Jira via Apache or Nginx over HTTPS

If you're proxying traffic to Jira over HTTPS, uncomment the below connector and comment out the others.
Ensure the proxyName and proxyPort are updated with the appropriate information if necessary as per the docs.

See the following for more information:

Apache - https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/PTT3MQ
nginx - https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/DAFmGQ
==============================================================================================================

<Connector port="8080" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^&#x5c;&#x60;&quot;&lt;&gt;"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false" secure="true" scheme="https"
proxyName="jira.mydomain.com" proxyPort="443"/>

Above is the only thing I edited in the server.xml file.

did you also configure the connector for port 8443 (the one that you redirect to)

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/running-jira-applications-over-ssl-or-https-938847764.html will provide you additional insights.

In parallel you could also think of handling the https in front of tomcat at an apache or nginx acting as a reverse proxy https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/securing-your-atlassian-applications-with-apache-using-ssl-838284349.html

Kurt, I don't think I have. Looking at my server.xml file, all the connector ports seem to be 8080. Is it simply as changing it to 8443?

Kurt Klinner

@xela citnad

Nope you will need one where you handle the http traffic (8080)

that will forward to the https one 8443 (that one will need to have a valid certificate in his truststore etc)

@Kurt Klinner so basically, this can't be done by simply changing values in the server.xml file?
