# Web Server Configuration

To enable HTTPS on your internal services, you need to configure your web server to use the certificates issued by TrustLab.

<Callout type="info" emoji={<Shield className="w-5 h-5" />}>
  **Prerequisite:** Ensure you have downloaded the **PEM Bundle** (for Linux) or **PFX** (for Windows) as described in the [Download Guide](/guide/certificates/download-install).
</Callout>

## Configuration Examples

Select your web server environment below:

<Tabs items={['Nginx', 'Apache (httpd)', 'IIS (Windows)']}>
  <Tabs.Tab>
    ### Nginx Setup
    Target File: `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default` or `internal.app.conf`
    
    ```nginx copy
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name internal.app;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

    server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        server_name internal.app;

        # SSL Configuration
        ssl_certificate     /etc/ssl/trustlab/internal.app.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/trustlab/internal.app.key;

        # Recommended Security
        ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
        ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    }
    ```
  </Tabs.Tab>
  <Tabs.Tab>
    ### Apache / HTTPD Setup
    Target File: `/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf` or VHost file.

    ```apache copy
    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName internal.app
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/internal

        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile      "/path/to/internal.app.crt"
        SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/path/to/internal.app.key"
        
        # Best Practice
        SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1
    </VirtualHost>
    ```
  </Tabs.Tab>
  <Tabs.Tab>
    ### IIS (Internet Information Services)
    Requires the **.pfx** file format.
    
    1.  **Import Certificate**:
        *   Open **IIS Manager** > Click Server Node > **Server Certificates**.
        *   Click **Import...** (Actions pane).
        *   Select your `.pfx` file and enter the password.
    
    2.  **Bind to Site**:
        *   Go to **Sites** > Select your site (e.g., Default Web Site).
        *   Click **Bindings...** > **Add...**
        *   Type: `https` | Port: `443`.
        *   **SSL Certificate**: Select the certificate you just imported.
