How do I configure SSL Offloading?

Community supports being configured to support an SSL Offloader.

1. Go to Administration > Site > Identification Options and enable Read the originating IP address (X-Forwarded-For/Forwarded:for)
2. Set the configured SiteUrl in connectionStrings.config to use the https protocol. This will instruct Community to issue URLs with the https protocol even though the SSL encryption is being offloaded to another device.
3. Ensure that you are setting the Forwarded header on the offload device when forwarding requests. Community will honor the proto and for settings.

For more information about the Forwarded header, see:
