Lab-https-ssl-notes

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+'/key.pem'),  
cert: fs.readFileSync(ssldir+'/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);
....
```
