How to treat HTTPS requests as secure when a load balancer proxies them to HTTP in JBoss EAP 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When requests come in as https, the response redirected to http instead of https. Are there any headers (e.g. X-forwarded-proto="https") we can introduce at Load Balancer that JBoss can recognize such that it can redirect based on the original protocol?

  • Is org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve supported in JBoss EAP 6.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.x
