Dagalidis · Jan 12th 2015

This is an easy way to RUN your Push Node Notification Server over Https (SSL) Connection.
Just follow the next steps and you will be Fine.

First of all go to your installation directory (Full Path)
example => /var/www/vhosts/your_domain_folder/wcf/acp/be.bastelstu.wcf.nodePush
Create a folder named Keys
find and copy the cert_pem keys from your server in keys directory
Give on keys folder the correct owner and group (the same with your domain folder) by using chown -hR owner:group command

Now open the app.coffee file with an editor
Find the app = do express in this file and paste the next code after it..

Code

privateKey = fs.readFileSync( './keys/your_privatekey_pem' ) 
certificate = fs.readFileSync( './keys/your_certificate_pem' )
cakey = fs.readFileSync( './keys/your_ca_pem' )
options = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate, ca: cakey}

Then find server = (require 'http').Server app and replace it with server = (require 'https').createServer options, app

In your config file use the next settings...

Code

module.exports = {
    outbound: {
        useTCP: true,
        port: 9001,
        host: 'your_real_ip',
        socket: __dirname + "/tmp/outbound.sock"
    },
    inbound: {
        useTCP: false,
        port: 9002,
        host: 'your_real_ip',
        socket: __dirname + "/tmp/inbound.sock"
    },
    user: 'name_of_owner',
    group: 'name_of_group'
}

Now you are ready to start your node using npm start command

In your WBB4 ACP goto System => Options => General => System tab
and replace the Push Server Host (nodePush) with https://your_domain_name:9001
and Message Address with unix://{WCF_DIR}acp/be.bastelstu.wcf.nodePush/tmp/inbound.sock (default value)

Now you can test if the node is accessible by your browser "https://your_domain:9001"

Thats all guys !!!!
