## Common questions

### What Minikube setup is required before installing Eclipse Che so the Keycloak/JWT proxy works?

Start Minikube with the ingress add-on and 8 GB of RAM. Without it, the Che Keycloak/JWT proxy can fail to get a working URL or run out of memory.

### How should the che-jwtproxy certificate be configured when used behind a reverse proxy?

The Common Name must be the host you expect to use for the reverse proxy. Specify the self-signed key pair using the key_file and crt_file parameters in the Verifier configuration.
