Trusted Proxy Setting page help and access

Developing with Concrete

@mlocati

I have two questions about Trusted Proxy setting.

Help section

You said in the help proxy and mentioned as “EC2”.

The other headers starting with X_… are not standard but are widely used by popular reverse proxies (like Apache mod_proxy/Amazon EC2).

Didn’t you mean it is load balancer as ELB?

Well, you could set EC2 as proxy, too…

How You Access Dashboard

Previously, I was setting up the config by editing concrete.php directly.
It’s because you will get logged out.

You can only visit the dashboard page to set-up proxy unless you

  • disable ` invalidate_on_ip_mismatch
  • access to c5 server directly without going through proxy

Is it correct? I think you should add the help comment to do above.

(I’m also testing a new forum, :smile: )

Thx.

@katz515 well, if you are able to see that message, that means you are already able to view the dashboard page.
And about EC2 vs ELB: I don’t remember where I took that note, but I’m pretty sure I copied it from some symfony docs…

@mlocati ok thx.

Well, I have a tons of installs, so I got the capture from my local install.

I was wondering if you’ve ever able to access the dashboard page when you are already behind the proxy server without disabling invalidate_on_ip_mismatch.
