David Handermann resolved NIFI-6080.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
Current Administrator's Guide documentation includes a variety of information
related to proxy configuration, any future additions can be considered in a new
issue.
> Create documentation around deploying NiFi behind a proxy

> Key: NIFI-6080
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6080
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Andy LoPresto
> Assignee: Andrew M. Lim
> Priority: Major
> Labels: documentation, proxy, security, walkthrough
>
> Drew and I discussed creating a helpful document which outlines the steps
> behind the common task of deploying NiFi in an environment where user/API
> access is restricted to proxy access. This document would include (generic)
> steps for deploying to widely-used proxies like httpd and nginx. Special
> attention would be paid to configuring a secured instance, which would
> include notes like:
> * Overriding the {{Origin}} header to allow for {{POST}} requests to the
> template endpoint originating from a different host -

> This document could also address (or link to another addressing) reverse
> proxy configuration allowing site-to-site connectivity. There is a
> [https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#site-to-site-and-reverse-proxy-examples|section
> in the Admin Guide] addressing this already.
> I'd like to see us build out more _prescriptive_ than _descriptive_
> documentation to help guide people through common tasks. Our current
> documentation is an excellent and exhaustive reference for people who know
> what they're looking for, but can be daunting to new users or users trying to
> perform a task for the first time.
