Deployment behind a reverse proxy

Updated on August 25, 2021

To deploy Pega Platform behind an HTTP proxy server, use XF-* extension headers. Deploying in this manner does not require any additional configuration of Pega Platform.

Refer to the documentation for your proxy server or load balancer for information about how to implement XF-* extension headers.

Note: If you are accessing your Pega Platform system via a Load Balancer or a Reverse Proxy, you must ensure it is correctly configured before implementing single-sign on, such as SAML and OIDC. For more information, see:

The following table describes the XF-* extension header properties.

PropertyRequired?Default valueDescription
X-Forwarded-ProtoRequiredNoneThe original HTTP protocol requested by the client (HTTP or HTTPS).
X-Forwarded-HostOptional from Pega 7.3 and later; required in Pega 7.2.xHost from the standard HTTP headerThe original host requested by the client. Only one value can be specified; a comma-delimited list is not supported. If X-Forwarded-Host is not specified, configure the proxy to preserve the standard host header.
X-Forwarded-PortOptional80 (for HTTP) 443 (for HTTPS)The original port requested by the client.
