| 1 | Example inpired from https://www.myxwiki.org (with only the important parts): | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | * any acces to port ##80## redirect to port ##443## | ||
| 4 | * proxy the port ##443## to the port ##8080## (where most application servers are listening by default) | ||
| 5 | * redirect ##/## access to ##/xwiki/## | ||
| 6 | * make sure XWiki have enough information to know what is the source URL | ||
| 7 | * make sure that special characters like ##/## and ##+## are allowed | ||
| 8 | * Mind the "noncanon" keyword. Without it, URLs containing semicolons will be mangled | ||
| 9 | * Tomcat server.xml should include the following connector attributes (default: 8080 connector) in order to avoid some "mixed protocol" failures: | ||
| 10 | ** proxyName="my.wiki.hostname" | ||
| 11 | ** proxyPort="443" | ||
| 12 | ** scheme="https" | ||
| 13 | {{code language="xml"}}<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" | ||
| 14 | connectionTimeout="20000" | ||
| 15 | proxyName="wiki.example.com" | ||
| 16 | proxyPort="443" | ||
| 17 | scheme="https" | ||
| 18 | redirectPort="8443" | ||
| 19 | maxParameterCount="1000" | ||
