Reverse Proxy	How to use SCM-Manager with common reverse proxies	true

SCM-Manager can run behind any reverse proxy, but a few rules must be respected. The reverse proxy should not encode slashes and the X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Host headers must be send to SCM-Manager. If the proxy uses a different protocol as the SCM-Manager e.g. https on proxy and http on scm-manager, the X-Forwarded-Proto header must be send too. If XSRF protection is enabled on the SCM-Manager server, the cookie has to be HttpOnly=false and must not be modified.

nginx

# set required forward headers
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
# if https is used make sure X-Forwarded-Proto header is send
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

# assuming scm-manager is running on localhost at port 8080
location /scm {
    proxy_pass http://scm:8080;
}

Apache

If you use VirtualHost sections, please make sure to put the directives AllowEncodedSlashes, RequestHeader, ProxyPass, and ProxyPassReverse into the same section as the Location for SCM-Manager.

# Ensure mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http modules are loaded
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

# avoid encoding of slashes
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

# if https is used, make sure X-Forwarded-Proto is send
RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-SSL" expr=%{HTTPS}

# assuming scm-manager is running on localhost at port 8080
ProxyPass /scm http://localhost:8080/scm nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /scm http://localhost:8080/scm

<Location /scm>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Location>

Notes

• Setting ProxyPassReverseCookiePath would most likely cause problems with session handling!
• If you encounter timeout problems, please have a look at Apache Module mod_proxy#Workers.
