If you already have OpenSSL installed in C:\OpenSSL-Win64, skip the instructions in this section. If you don't have OpenSSL in C:\OpenSSL-Win64, one of the possible ways of installing OpenSSL is described below (Install Visual C++ Build Tools and Python 2.7, Upgrade NPM, Install Perl, Install OpenSSL). The procedure was tested on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows 10. We recommend using "Windows PowerShell" and running it with administrator rights for the following commands:
This typically takes 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the internet connection.
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm -g install npm@latest
Perl is needed for building OpenSSL. If you already have Perl installed, please skip the Install Perl section.
Get Perl from ActiveState: installer (SHA256 is f8fa9800fdb286b9cca98ddbab867ac95a444f4eb8b4616b50347a324305ae3c)
or another source.
Download and extract https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1t.tar.gz (other versions might work but were not tested)
Using "Visual C++ 2015 x64 Native Build Tools Command Prompt" under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools\ in the OpenSSL directory issue the following commands:
perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm --prefix=C:\OpenSSL-Win64
.\ms\do_win64a.bat
# If the following "clean" fails it's OK, just continue with following commands
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak clean
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
npm install -g beame-gatekeeper
Please make sure you are using NodeJS 6, version 6.9.X or newer
npm install -g beame-gatekeeper
Sign up. You don't have to wait for the installation from previous step to complete.
Run the command in the sign up confirmation email you just got from Beame. beame-gatekeeper will obtain your very own beame hostname, and issue a valid public certificate for it.
The certificate will be ready in moments and you can start using your tunnel right away. Truly a one-stop-shop!
