Hello, we're not familiar with node js. How do we point the certicate to the node.js?
We plan to use https, but it's not working I believe we need to point the cert within the code?

I assume you're referring to FlexSim's Webserver?

FlexSim's Webserver is a basic tool that allows FlexSim to be served over HTTP to a web browser. It is not meant to be a fully featured web server that enables things like encryption or authentication.

To take advantage of advanced features you'd find in fully featured web servers, the ideal solution is to proxy FlexSim's Webserver behind a fully featured webserver.

Please check out Paul Toone's recent articles on setting up behind a proxy:

• FlexSim Web Server Proxied with Apache
• FlexSim Web Server Proxied with Nginx
