Explanation

After installing XWiki, it's recommended to access it through an HTTP proxy, especially when you want to use the standard HTTP/HTTPS ports instead of the default 8080.  Also, For a variety of reasons, it is not ideal to allow users to connect directly to tomcat. So it's generally recommended to put an HTTP reverse proxy such as Apache HTTP Server or Nginx when configuring Tomcat. If so, then you would need to Configure Tomcat to Find Proxy Headers.

Using an HTTP proxy in front of XWiki provides several advantages such as standard ports (users can access XWiki via http:// or https:// without specifying port 8080), security, performance, access control.

Examples of proxy servers used with XWiki:

• Configure Apache HTTP Server as a Proxy on a Linux OS,
• Configure Apache HTTP Server as a Proxy on a Windows OS,
• Set up NginX Proxy Server.
