Re: App Installation - SSL issue

 

Hi Lorill,
I think you need to modify the Tomcat server.xml file to get this to work
properly.

I usually add an additional connector

     <Connector port="8090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" proxyPort="443"
scheme="https"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />


and then point the reverse proxy to that.

Regards
Jason
