and Citrix Net Scaler. This documentation will outline what ports and protocols
you need to use with GitLab.
## Basic ports
## SSL
How will you handle SSL in your HA environment? There are several different
options:
- Each application node terminates SSL
- The load balancer(s) terminate SSL and communication is not secure between
the load balancer(s) and the application nodes
- The load balancer(s) terminate SSL and communication is *secure* between the
load balancer(s) and the application nodes
### Application nodes terminate SSL
Configure your load balancer(s) to pass connections on port 443 as 'TCP' rather
than 'HTTP(S)' protocol. This will pass the connection to the application nodes
Nginx service untouched. Nginx will have the SSL certificate and listen on port 443.
See [Nginx HTTPS documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#enable-https)
for details on managing SSL certificates and configuring Nginx.
### Load Balancer(s) terminate SSL without backend SSL
Configure your load balancer(s) to use the 'HTTP(S)' protocol rather than 'TCP'.
The load balancer(s) will then be responsible for managing SSL certificates and
terminating SSL.
Since communication between the load balancer(s) and GitLab will not be secure,
there is some additional configuration needed. See
[Nginx Proxied SSL documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#supporting-proxied-ssl)
for details.
### Load Balancer(s) terminate SSL with backend SSL
Configure your load balancer(s) to use the 'HTTP(S)' protocol rather than 'TCP'.
The load balancer(s) will be responsible for managing SSL certificates that
end users will see.
Traffic will also be secure between the load balancer(s) and Nginx in this
scenario. There is no need to add configuration for proxied SSL since the
connection will be secure all the way. However, configuration will need to be
added to GitLab to configure SSL certificates. See
[Nginx HTTPS documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#enable-https)
for details on managing SSL certificates and configuring Nginx.
