Lab-https-ssl-notes

From GersteinInfo

Mihali has created lab-wide SSL encryption files ready for use with *.gersteinlab.org websites.

Here are some notes on how to use it.

• With Apache

  (under development)

• With nodejs

```javascript

var https = require('https'); //create a folder can only access by yourself, change the key name to 'key.pem', certificate name to 'cert.pem' // var ssldir=xxxxx; var options = { key: fs.readFileSync(ssldir+'.localhost-ssl/key.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync(ssldir+'.localhost-ssl/cert.pem') };

//need run as root to use 443 as the listenning port //or give a different number like: 8443 https.createServer(options, app).listen(443); ....

```
