Proxy and HTTPS setup for Confluence

Many customers choose to run Confluence behind a reverse proxy, often with HTTPS enabled. Getting your proxy configuration right is essential, to avoid problems later when using Confluence. 

Proxy and HTTPS access are both configured in Tomcat, Confluence's application server. 

If you plan to use collaborative editing, there are a number of proxy and SSL considerations you'll need to take into account when deciding the best way to configure your proxy. 

Step-by-step guides

In addition to the sample connectors, we also provide a number of step-by-step guides to help you enable HTTPS and configure your proxy correctly. 

HTTPS:

Reverse proxy:

Outbound proxy:

Although we provide guides for some third-party solutions, and mention Apache and Nginx in the server.xml file, you can choose your own proxy solution.

Atlassian Support can't provide assistance with configuring third-party tools like NGINX, Apache, or IIS. If you have questions, check your proxy server's documentation, ask the Atlassian Community, or get help from a Solution Partner.
