Note: Workflow version > 1.16.2 must be installed for https access to the Workflow!

The configuration can be carried out if the Nginx Reverse Proxy is installed via the PPD Tools Collection (PPDTC). Find out how to do this in section 1.2.

A valid SSL certificate must also be available.

Proceed as follows to configure the Reverse Proxy and make the Workflow accessible via https:

1. Navigate to ppdtc via the command line or press "Windows + R" to access PPDTC.
2. ppdtc is located in  C:\program files\ppd\install.
3. Open the Ngnix Configuration dialog via Applications > Local Workflow > Ngnix > Configuration.
4. In the text field Server Name [1] enter the server name with which the Workflow should be accessible e.g.: "workflow.mycompany.com".
5. In this case, workflow.mycompany.com has to point to the IP address of the Workflow (DNS configuration).
6. With the Install [2] button Ngnix is installed and configured.
7. The SSL certificate and the key of "mycompany.com" must be saved in "c:\Program Files\PPD\NGinx\conf\certificate\" after the installation. Note that in the Ngnix Configuration dialog the path C:\Program Files\PPD\NGinx\conf\certificate\ is shown.
8. Exchange the files Certificate.txt and Key.txt in C:\Program Files\PPD\NGinx\conf\certificate\.
9. With Remove [3] the Ngnix can be removed again.
10. After the installation, the computer has to be restarted.
