Please follow the steps below if you have deployed Bold BI using Nginx.

1. Go to the location /etc/nginx/sites-available, open the Bold BI®-nginx-config file and make the changes below for all the services (id-web, id-api, id-ums, bi-web, bi-api, bi-jobs, bi-designer, bi-designer-helper, bi-etl, bi-aiservice).

From: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; 

To: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; 

2. Once these changes have been made for all the services, please restart the nginx using the command below:

Please follow the below steps while you have deployed the Bold BI using nginx.

1. Go to the location /etc/apache2/sites-available, open the boldbi-apache-config.conf file and make the changes below for all the services (id-web, id-api, id-ums, bi-web, bi-api, bi-jobs, bi-designer, bi-designer-helper, bi-etl, bi-aiservice).

From: RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
