We have terminated this by default on the WebUI. You can configure this but considering it introduces security risk we recently changed this.

@madhu there was one more change needed on webui side to read the variable at startup instead of build time, i’ve published a new image `v0.28.1` for Web UI

Please feel free to use the `docker-compose.yml` file from this PR (or to update the web tag to v0.28.1 in your docker compose) [https://github.com/temporalio/temporal/pull/657](https://github.com/temporalio/temporal/pull/657)

upd. The PR is checked in
