Configure AuthService with SSL

[rfernandez2007]

Hi,
I'm trying to configure AuthService and I would like to use SSL.

I'm not sure about what to put in the nginx configuration file: nginx.conf.template

Code: Select all

  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate <cert_path.pem>;
  ssl_certificate_key <cert_path.key>;


As per documentation: https://github.com/hpcc-systems/Auth-Service

For SSL, provide CERT_PATH value and update nginx config, go to client/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf.template fill in coresponding values on line 4 and 5.

I've already created a key-pair that resides in the keys folder of the AuthService project. (this is a previous step in the installation but in the documentation it is not related to the SSL configuration)
Is that the path I'm supposed to use? or do I have to generate a different "certificate"?

Also, in the .env file there is the following: (which I'm not sure if/how it relates to the other instructions)

Code: Select all

#SSL Cert locations
CERT_PATH=/etc/ssl/certs

Finally, it would help a lot to have an example of how this path looks like in a working nginx configuration file (to eliminate doubts about if it is relative, absolute, includes the key name, and that sort of things)


Thank you very much!!
Warm regards
