Spring Boot with embedded Tomcat behind Apache proxy

Question

We have a Spring Boot (Spring MVC) app with embedded Tomcat on a dedicated appserver behind an Apache SSL proxy.

The SSL port on the proxy server is 4433, forwarding

Answer 1

There are several properties that you can configure, related to this. application.yaml example:

server:
  forward-headers-strategy: native
  tomcat:
    use-relative-redirects: true
    protocol-header: x-forwarded-proto
    remote-ip-header: x-forwarded-for

Setting server.forward-headers-strategy: native is the replacement of the deprecated server.use-forward-headers:true
