Nginx as a proxy for TIBCO JasperReports® Server

TIBCO JasperReports^® Server needs a standard proxy configuration for nginx with one addition.

See some general proxy configuration discussion Best Practices for deploying JasperReports Server.

The example proxy_pass here is doing SSL termination.

    location /jasperserver-pro {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real_IP $remote_addr;
    }

The one specific nginx setting needed for JasperReports Server is:
