Requirement #

  • Obtain an SSL certificate along with its corresponding private key file.
  • The private key must be in decrypted (unencrypted) format to ensure compatibility with the target system or service.

 

STEP 1: Load Cert and Key in the Correct Directory

If you have your own custom certification and cert key, you will need to put them in the following directory C:\XPressEntryWeb\nginx\ssl

XPressEntryWeb SSL folder directory with secure certificate file titled xpressentry.local.crt and Key file titled xpressentry.local.key

 

STEP 2: Direct the Config Tool to Cert and Key

Then open the XPressEntry Database Config Tool and make sure the path is pointing to the certificate and cert key in the Nginx Config section (located at the bottom of the window). Make sure to enable/check “Use HTTPS” and then click “Set Nginx Config”.
