+    <para>nginx configuration is built around a hierarchy of blocks representing http, server and location, where each block inherit settings from parent blocks. The following snippet will configure nginx to proxy pass (redirect) requests from port 80 (which is the port nginx will listen on by default) to our Tomcat instance. It will also make nginx serve requests for static content such as javascript, stylesheets and images and instruct clients to cache it for 14 days which will reduce the load on Tomcat and improve overall performance.

     <para>In order to improve security it is recommended to configure the server running DHIS to communicate with clients over an encrypted connection and to identify itself to clients using a trusted certificate. This can be achieved through SSL which is an cryptographic communication protocol running on top of TCP/IP.</para>
