WebControl SSL configuration for own certificates

The integrated NGINX WebServer is installed with a certificate created during installation. The most common web browsers point this out when opening the WebControl address and you have to agree to the use of this certificate. If you want to avoid this, you can use your own certificate.

To import your own certificate you have to copy it as .crt file with the appropriate key as .key file into this folder \HOME\ieffect\WEBCTRL.

In the php.conf file also contained in the folder, the following lines must be adapted to the name of the new certificate:

CODE

ssl_certificate /home/ieffect/WEBCTRL/webctrl.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/ieffect/WEBCTRL/webctrl.key;

If you want to use a port number other than 443, you can also change it in the following line:

CODE

listen 443 ssl;

It is important that the server name in the config file is also adjusted to the new DNS name and the name in the certificate.

CODE

server_name demo1.menten.com

In addition, the environment variables from i-effect in the operating system should be adjusted to the new configuration file:

Access the menu for editing the system's environment variables
CODE
```
WRKENVVAR LEVEL(*SYS)
```
Edit the environment variables for link/port (the VxRxMx part should represent your i-effect version)
CODE
```
IEFFECT_VxRxMx_WEBCONTROL_LINK
IEFFECT_VxRxMx_WEBCONTROL_PORT
```

Afterwards, close and restart the *WEBCTRL subsystem in the GreenScreen:

CODE

IEFFECT/ENDEFFSBS SUBSYSTEM(*WEBCTRL)
IEFFECT/STREFFSBS SUBSYSTEM(*WEBCTRL)
