Solved Error creating project, XSRF check failed on Jira

Just to be clear you're trying to receive SSL traffic on 443 on the external facing connection of your proxy, and then forward it to 8080 on your JIRA server. Is that correct?
That’s what he described. Pretty standard reverse proxy config.
-
@scottalanmiller it sounds like Jira needs a setting to trust the proxy.

Correct. Trying to keep things as simple as possible (while still being secure.) This is not on cloud, it's hosted in colo, so that's a private network entirely that the non-SSL traffic is on, and all inside a single virtual switch on a single box.

Ok, the document you're referencing is for 80 to 8080, not 443 to 8080. I'm trying to remember how you need to set the conf files because I've done this, but it has been awhile.

Yeah, reading their description, versus what the config file details are, they don't seem to match up. I did try both connectors, though, and neither worked. But I agree that the lower one with port 443 that is currently commented out makes way more sense to be the right one. I'll switch back to that.

Welcome to Jira https. I did this awhile ago but not using a proxy.
Never understood their fascination with using ports other than 80 and 443.
On the jira server, what is
ss -atunshowing?I think the redirectPort=8443 option is causing this issue. This option is present in both connector options, and you arent using it.

That drives me batty.

You win the internet (for me at least) today. This was it.

This mattered too, but I had been using both configs and neither worked. It was removing 8443 that did it.
