Hub Trusted Proxy Hops

Key: qie.hubTrustedProxyHops

Env Var: QIE_HUBTRUSTEDPROXYHOPS

Default: 1

Scope: Global

Description: Number of trusted reverse-proxy/load-balancer hops in front of the Hub. The real client IP (for login throttling, audit attribution, and the X-Forwarded-For stamped to the remote QIE) is read as the Nth entry from the RIGHT of X-Forwarded-For, so a client cannot spoof it by pre-seeding the header. Default 1 = a single load balancer.
