nginx web server configuration file for Suprema BioStar 2 Door Access System

Subject: nginx web server configuration file for Suprema BioStar 2 Door Access System


Good day from Singapore,


On 7 Mar 2024 Thursday, I was installing NEW self-signed SSL certificate for Suprema BioStar 2 door access system version 2.7.12.39 for a law firm in Singapore because the common name (CN) in the existing SSL certificate was pointing to the WRONG private IPv4 address 192.168.0.149.


I have referred to the following Suprema technical support guide to install new self-signed SSL certificate for the door access system.


Article: [BioStar 2] How to Apply a Private Certificate for HTTPS

Link: https://support.supremainc.com/en/support/solutions/articles/24000005211--biostar-2-how-to-apply-a-private-certificate-for-https


The server certificate/public key (biostar_cert.crt), private key (biostar_cert.key), PKCS12 file (biostar_cert.p12) and Java Keystore (keystore.jks) are all located inside the folder C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\nginx\conf


Looking at the above directory pathname, it is apparent that the South Korean Suprema BioStar 2 door access system is using the open source nginx web server.


But why are ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key directives NOT configured for the HTTPS section in the nginx configuration file? The entire HTTPS section was also commented out. 


I am baffled.


Why is there a Java Keystore (keystore.jks)? Is nginx web server being used in conjunction with some type of open source Java web server?


Looking forward to your reply.


Thank you.


I shall reproduce the nginx web server configuration file for the Suprema BioStar 2 door access system below for your reference.


nginx.conf is inside C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\nginx\conf
