Making Jira and Confluence Public access questions

[Mark Tellier]

If I am using Jira and Confluence internally via http:\\xxxxx:8080, http:\\xxxxx.8090 and I make both sites public through SSL https://xxxx.xxxx for example:

1. If I modify the server.xml file to use https as in step 2  in these instructions:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html

Will I still be able to access Jira and Confluence for the internal staff and have the extarnal staff use the SSL connection? I assume so if I do not do step 5...I hope.

2. After completing the steps in the SSL procedure in the above URL will it be necessary to change the config.bat file?

You can have 2 ports, one serving https and another serving http. Howerever, keep in mind that you can have only one base URL (https in this case) and some of the functionality will be broken if you try to access using the url that is not set as the baseURL, unless you are proxying it.

Still, it might be enough to do maintenance admin activities while taking down the https port and making it available only to the admin staff.

Not sure what you meant by updating config.bat.
