Setting the Server attributes to secure by modifying configuration files for each server
As an alternative to using the
SpotfireRemoteIpValve
to configure Spotfire Server with a
load balancer or reverse-proxy, you can also make the server behave as if it
uses
HTTPS (e.g., set secure cookies etc.) by
providing some parameters in the HTTP Tomcat connector, present in
server.xml. Note, however, that this method requires
changes on all servers in the cluster, whereas the filter configuration only
needs to be done once.
About this task
Note: These steps must be
performed on all servers in a cluster.
