SSL problem with SSL proxy

תמיכה התקנה

סיכום מבוסס בינה מלאכותית

The discussion revolves around an SSL issue with a Discourse installation behind an NGINX reverse proxy. Torwald explains that while enabling the “Force HTTPS” setting resolves insecure content warnings, it causes 403 errors and prevents login, topic creation, and email confirmation. pfaffman suggests enabling the “force https” setting, but Torwald notes the issue persists. The problem is resolved by adding proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; to the NGINX configuration, as shared in a solution. codinghorror notes this is a common issue discussed frequently.

Good day!

I have installed NGINX Reverse Proxy before Discourse, where certificates are managed, so the user connects to Discourse via a secure HTTPS connection.

However, some template files, such as icons, are downloaded over HTTP, which causes Firefox to report an insecure connection. These files are:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" href="http://
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"
<meta name="twitter:image"

and other.

If I enable the “Force HTTPs” mode in the settings, this problem disappears, but there is another - I can neither create categories, nor create new topics, nor even log in - the forum gives the 403rd error.

Version 2.3.0 is currently installed.beta 8 +123.

Thank you in advance

E-Mail confirmation also don’t work when force https enabled.
