Before starting, make sure you have a working instance of Thinfinity Workspace or Thinfinity VirtualUI.
Instructions
1) Register the URL you want to use for your demo application using NoIP. NoIP, which gives you a free hostname for 15 days : https://www.noip.com/
Once you registered your domain, bind it to the public IP address of your Thinfinity VirtualUI server:
If your server is behind a Router, then you’ll need to do some port forwarding. NoIP has some good examples on how to do so :
You can also check if the port you wish to use is opened, using the following page:
Now that we have a URL pointing to our server, let’s create an SSL certificate for it :
2) Install WIN-Acme on your Thinfinity server and follow the instructions for creating an SSL certificate.
Win-Acme is a small client that uses Let’s Encrypt servers for creating free SSL certificates.
Below you will find their URL and some basic information:
Certificates created using Win-Acme are automatically stored in your ‘Personal’ Folder.
3) Select the newly added certificate to Thinfinity VirtualUI ‘Bindings’ menu:
Click Apply and navigate to the URL.
Open a browser, and navigate to the URL configured for Thinfinity.
You should see now that the URL is now protected with a valid HTTPS certificate :
And that’s it!
Now you can publish your application to the web, and have a 15-day free website for demo purposes!
