2022.1

NodeJS Server is more secure, more up to date and more standardized.
For instance:
l PUT and DELETE actions can be posted to the server.
l The NodeJS Server can serve multiple static resources at once.
l Port numbers > 9999 are allowed.
l You can specify a HTTPS port separately.
l A Proxy list can be used to setup end points for redirecting requests to another server.
This could be useful if for example the Connect server is on another server which could
change; when it changes you’d only have to modify the proxy list instead of the
configuration.
l You can enable or disable authentication using users from an Active Directory server.
The NodeJS Server is only started automatically by Workflow when NodeJS input plugins are
detected in the configuration. If no NodeJS input plugins are present, the service ("ppNode") is
not started by Workflow; it can still be started manually, but will only serve static resources and
redirect requests to other servers.
Note
The NodeJS Server installed with Workflow is not supported in an x86 environment.
Before using this plugin
1. Configure the NodeJS Server using its three settings dialogs in the Preferences
(Workflow button >Preferences): "NodeJS Server Input plugin preferences 1" on
page805, "NodeJS Server Input plugin preferences 2" on page807 and "NodeJS Server
Input plugin preferences 3" on page808.
2. In order to serve resources that come from the Connect Server the ppNode service needs
to know the credentials and communication protocol to use for communication to the
Connect Server.
These must be entered in a file named default.js that is by default found in C:\Program
Files (x86)\Objectif Lune\ppnode\src\constants\.
Find the following line:
export const DEFAULT_CONNECT_CREDS:{ auth: string; protocol: string } = { auth:
"ol-admin:secret", protocol: "http" }; //Default user/pass and protocol for the
