Configure Self-Service behind a proxy

When running Smart ID Self-Service behind a load balancer or proxy server, some products, such as Apache Web Server or F5, require a custom path in the web application endpoint.

This article describes how to configure Smart ID Self-Service in docker under a custom path (/self_service) for the scenario mentioned above.

<SMARTIDHOME>

In this article, <SMARTIDHOME> refers to /home/nexus, but this can be different depending on the setup.
