@MargePega,

Can you please provide more FlexSim-related information? What exactly are you trying to do with FlexSim where you need to add authentication?

I assume you're referring to FlexSim's Webserver?

FlexSim's Webserver is a basic tool that allows FlexSim to be served over HTTP to a web browser. It is not meant to be a fully featured web server that enables things like encryption or authentication.

To take advantage of advanced features you'd find in fully featured web servers, the ideal solution is to proxy FlexSim's Webserver behind a fully featured webserver.

Please check out Paul Toone's recent articles on setting up behind a proxy:

That said, if you're a node.js expert and wish to modify the FlexSim Webserver yourself, after installing you can find all the .js source files in the installation directory. You can modify those as needed for your own purposes, but please be aware that we will not be able to support you in this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FlexSim Web Server\webserver
