Configuring a Proxy in Front of the Bridge

This page describes how to configure a proxy in front of a Bridge installation. Configuring the proxy of the Bridge is described on Configuring the Proxy in the Integration User’s Guide.

Bridge 7.9.0 As of Bridge 7.9.0, you can configure a proxy in front of the Bridge. Some HTTP headers need to be set in your proxy configuration for Bridge links to work.

You need to set

the forwarded protocol
the forwarded host
the proxy path prefix

You can provide these values either as custom headers or as a mixture of custom headers and RFC 7239 headers:

`x-forwarded-proto`	`forwarded`	Set the protocol to be forwarded.	http	Forward HTTP request (default).	^{x-forwarded-proto: https x-forwarded-host: scheer-acme.com:8080} ^{forwarded: proto=https; host=scheer-acme.com:8080}
`x-forwarded-proto`		Set the protocol to be forwarded.	https	Forward HTTPS request.
`x-forwarded-host`		Set the forwarded host (and port) requested by the client in the original request.
`x-forwarded-prefix`		Provide a proxy path prefix.			^{x-forwarded-prefix: /pas/bridge}
