+# Motivation
+ This set up shows a simple facade implementation with re-authentication.
+
+## Components
+* server
+* nginx
+* client call
+
+# Requirements
+* python (tested with version 3.12.2)
+* nginx (tested with version 1.25.4)
+
+# Server
+1) Create a Virtual Environment for Python
+
+`python3 -m venv venv`
+
+2) Install Flask
+
+`pip3 install flask`
+
+3) Activate the virtual environment for python
+
+`source venv/bin/activate`
+
+4) Create Private Key
+
+`openssl genrsa -aes256 -out server.key 2048`
+
+5) Create Certificate Signing Request
+
+`openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr`
+
+6) Create the Certificate
+
+`openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt`
+
+7) Start the server
+
+`python server.py`
+
+8) Test the server
+
+`curl https://127.0.0.1:5000/unsecured --insecure`
+
+9) Test passing an API Key
+
+`curl https://localhost:5000/secured -H "X-API-Key:TEST-API-KEY" --insecure`
+
+# NGINX
+Apply the right configuration, found in this repository in `nginx.conf`
+On MacOS it is located in `/usr/local/etc/nginx`
+
+## Create Certificates and Adjust NGINX Configuration
+
+1) Create Private Key
+
+`openssl genrsa -aes256 -out server.key 2048`
+
+2) Create Certificate Signing Request
+
+`openssl req -new -key nginx.key -out nginx.csr`
+
+3) Create the Certificate
+
+`openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in nginx.csr -signkey nginx.key -out nginx.crt`
+
+4) Adjust paths in nginx.conf
+
+
+5) Start nginx
+
+`nginx`
+
+# Start Testing
+
+Test for forbidden on unsecured endpoint
+
+`curl https://localhost/unsecured  --insecure`
+
+Test for successful request on secured endpoint with enriched credentials
+
+`curl https://localhost/secured  --insecure`
+
+# Troubleshooting
+
+Beware of the nginx state. Sometimes, a reload via `nginx -s reload` is not enough. If it behaves not as expected, try `nginx -s quit` and restart using `nginx`.
