Reverse Proxy and Port-forwarding limitation with Jira Align Self-Hosted setup

Summary

This article describes the limitation of reverse proxies and port-forwarding on Jira Align self-hosted instances

Solution

• Jira Align does not support different port numbers between reverse proxy/port-forwarding appliances and the port binded on the Jira Align IIS.

• Port number used on the reverse proxy/port forwarder has to be same as the port used for binding on IIS of the Jira Align server

• Example of non-supported configuration: Reverse proxy/port-forwarding appliance has port 443 and the IIS is binded to port 8443 on Jira Align server

• Example of supported configuration: Reverse proxy/port-forwarding appliance has port 443 and the IIS is binded to port on same port 443 on Jira Align server
