      You can always put a reverse proxy in front, using something like Nginx, and put the cert there.

        This is what I do with my MESD deployment.

          Do you use Apache or NGNIX for that?

            You "always" use Nginx for stand alone reverse proxies. That's what it is built for.

              For those following along at home...Am I building a VM of NGNIX or installing NGNIX on the windows box?

                A VM. You don't want web serving on Windows, that's never good.

                  A waste of a license at the min - but it's so much worse than that.

                    @WLS-ITGuy By the way, there is a great tool for LE on IIS. Just not useful for you since ME does not use IIS last I knew.

                      That is what I am seeing 😞

                        That's what I use, here is my doc on that:

                          Not a big deal, you likely want a solid reverse proxy anyway. Nginx is not a big deal to set up or maintain.

                            @JaredBusch you don't have any issues with agents checking in or pushing out updates with the RP?

                              What would be the concern?

                                Curious more than anything.
