As a solution to problems described here:
http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2013-02/msg00145.html
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3853
propose the following:
to change the ssl port of the Chef server from a standard 443 to something
else one needs to edit file
/opt/chef-server/embedded/cookbooks/chef-server/templates/default/nginx.conf.erb
changing the line 79
proxy_set_header Host $host;
to
proxy_set_header Host “$host:<%= @ssl_port %>”;
and then run
chef-server-ctl reconfigure
Solution tested with 11.0.4-server

Serge
