STEP 6 – Using an HTTPS host (optional)
To work with SSL and BriefCam, using a load balancer is required.
This section describes the steps to take to use the NGINX load balancer as an https host for BriefCam services.
Recommendations
BriefCam recommends using NGINX.
It is recommended to install the load balancer on a separate computer.
If you are working in a virtualized environment, the load balancer must be on a separate computer.
If you are working in a non-virtualized (physical servers) environment, you can have the load balancer on the
same computer as the Web Services (although it is not recommended). However, if you install the load
balancer on the same computer as the Web Services, IIS must be on a different port than port 80, since port 80
is for NGINX.
Prerequisites
l
Make sure that port 80 is not in use by another application.
l
If IIS is installed, make sure to stop it or change its default port.
Steps
1. Download NGINX 1.19.x load balancer or later from this link: https://nginx.org/en/download.html.
2. Extract the NGINX zip files to drive C:\. It is important to have the NGINX extracted so that the path is:
C:\NGINX.
3. Create or use an already created self-signed certificate separated into two files: .crt and .key:
For information about how to create a certificate, see one of these links:

To use an already created certificate from the current folder, place both the certificate’s .crt and .key
files in the following path: C:\NGINX\certificates\.
