advice on how to SSL / https terria map

[hardreddata]

I found this little nugget on the terriajs-server github

It can be run in HTTPS mode, although there are better ways of doing that in production.

Advice invited.

Technically we still run v7 so maybe this will be the push we need to migrate.

Any advice which involves IIS on Windows would be great.

Many thanks.

Theoretically you can configure terriajs-server to handle HTTPS like in this example.

But it might be better to make a gateway server handle it as it might be more performant and safe(?). In this setup terriajs-server works in HTTP mode and is oblivious to the fact that there is an HTTPS in front. I think there should be no difference between v7 and v8 in this regard.

Mozilla has an SSL configuration generator for various servers, but I don't see IIS in that list. Sorry, I don't have much experience with IIS setup, but you might want to look for setting up a reverse proxy mode - something like this.

Thanks.

Presently using Squid for the http reverse proxy but running on Windows so IIS possibly makes more sense.
