-----------------------------------
Summary: Create documentation around deploying NiFi behind a proxy
Key: NIFI-6080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6080
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Assignee: Andrew Lim
Drew and I discussed creating a helpful document which outlines the steps
behind the common task of deploying NiFi in an environment where user/API
access is restricted to proxy access. This document would include (generic)
steps for deploying to widely-used proxies like httpd and nginx. Special
attention would be paid to configuring a secured instance, which would include
notes like:
* Overriding the {{Origin}} header to allow for {{POST}} requests to the
template endpoint originating from a different host -

CORS request error on NiFi v1.8.0 and 1.9.0 behind nginx]
* Configuring the proxy host accepted lists

This document could also address (or link to another addressing) reverse proxy
configuration allowing site-to-site connectivity. There is a
[https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#site-to-site-and-reverse-proxy-examples|section
in the Admin Guide] addressing this already.
I'd like to see us build out more _prescriptive_ than _descriptive_
documentation to help guide people through common tasks. Our current
documentation is an excellent and exhaustive reference for people who know what
they're looking for, but can be daunting to new users or users trying to
perform a task for the first time.
