HTTPS or SSL setup

Private eazyBI

If you want to enable HTTPS or SSL for Private eazyBI then you need to setup front-end web server (like Apache or ngnix) which will handle the HTTPS/SSL connection and will use the reverse-proxy to pass the request to Private eazyBI process.

Apache

Please follow any tutorial that describes how to setup Apache with SSL and a reverse proxy, for example, the following tutorial for Ubuntu.

If you use the same Apache web server as a reverse proxy for several applications then please also install and enable Apache mod_rewrite module and then you can use the following Apache virtual site configuration to proxy just the requests that start with /eazybi to Private eazyBI on localhost port 8080:

<VirtualHost *:443>
   # ...
   RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO 'https'
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^/(eazybi.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8080%{REQUEST_URI} [L,P,QSA]
</VirtualHost>

Please also always set X_FORWARDED_PROTO as shown in this example as Private eazyBI will use the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header to detect that the original request used https protocol.

nginx

Please follow any tutorial that described how to setup nginx with SSL and a reverse proxy, for example, the first part of this tutorial.

If you use the same nginx web server as a reverse proxy for several applications then specify to proxy just the requests that start with /eazybi to Private eazyBI on localhost port 8080:

location /eazybi/ {
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

Please always set the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header as Private eazyBI will use it to detect that the original request used https protocol.
