## Enable HTTPS
- Follow these [steps](https://ca.cern.ch/ca/host/HostSelection.aspx?template=ee2host&instructions=openssl) to request a new CERN Grid Host Certificate
- Set up file paths to the generated key and certificate in the `http` section of `config.js` file.
- Note that this HTTPS setup is implemented using the ExpressJS router and does not rely on a web proxy server such as Nginx.

### FLP suite or related QCG instances

When QCG is deployed as part of an FLP suite or FLP inventory, certificates are installed and configured with nginx as part of the standard procedure — refer to the FLP documentation for details. For smaller, standalone deployments, the QCG back-end server supports `https` directly, with SSL certificate paths configurable in `config.js`.

In both cases, HTTPS should be configured using CERN-provided certificates, following CERN recommendations. [Request a CERN host certificate](https://ca.cern.ch/ca/host/Request.aspx?template=CERNHostCertificate2YearsCustomSubject)
