Hello all
Im trying to set my Zope 6 admin page over HTTPS (/manage), but receiving error in browser:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://my-website/manage ' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure frame 'http://my-website/manage_menu '. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://my-website/manage ' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure frame 'http://my-website/manage_workspace '. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
My Volto 6 instances are running behind AWS ALB over HTTPS according to: Browser(HTTPS) -> AWS ALB(HTTP) -> Nginx (HTTP) -> VoltoSite:3000/Zope:8080.
So Im trying to use same Nginx used for Volto sites, but in different nginx server config.
Is there any config to change on Zope backend? Should I build Zope image on port 443? Why is there .js and .css links in http?

typo in your proxy conf? http vs. https in the redirect rule?

server {
listen {{ .Values.plone.nginx.service.port }};
server_name {{ .Values.plone.nginx.server_name }};
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_redirect http:// https://;
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}
My current nginx config for backend which is Zope running on 8080.

A missing rewrite rule to the vhm ?
server {
....
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /VirtualHostBase/https/yourdomain.xyz:443/VirtualHostRoot/$1 break;
....
}
}

Hi @1letter
Great, that is what I was looking for, I found similar suggestion under Plone docs: Reversy proxy for Zope admin . All errors like Mixed Content is gone.
Thank you
Final config:
server {
listen {{ .Values.plone.nginx.service.port }};
server_name {{ .Values.plone.nginx.server_name }};
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_redirect http:// https://;
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /VirtualHostBase/https/$server_name:443/VirtualHostRoot/$1 break;
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}
