People,
i'm having a hard time trying to create an node.js https server.
The idea behind the server is that it's only for local loopback requests.
With it in mind and for the sake of privacy i thought of disposable self signed certificates renewed at each server restart.
Following suggestions i'm trying to use the node-forge module to generate the disposable certificates.
Reading their instructions at https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-forge i came with a very simple code:
var https = require('https');
var forge = require('node-forge');
forge.options.usePureJavaScript = true;
var pki = forge.pki;
var keys = pki.rsa.generateKeyPair(2048);
var cert = pki.createCertificate();
cert.publicKey = keys.publicKey;
cert.serialNumber = '01';
cert.validity.notBefore = new Date();
cert.validity.notAfter = new Date();
cert.validity.notAfter.setFullYear(cert.validity.notBefore.getFullYear()+1);
var attrs = [
{name:'commonName',value:'example.org'}
,{name:'countryName',value:'US'}
,{shortName:'ST',value:'Virginia'}
,{name:'localityName',value:'Blacksburg'}
,{name:'organizationName',value:'Test'}
,{shortName:'OU',value:'Test'}
];
cert.setSubject(attrs);
cert.setIssuer(attrs);
cert.sign(keys.privateKey);
var pem_pkey = pki.publicKeyToPem(keys.publicKey);
var pem_cert = pki.certificateToPem(cert);
console.log(pem_pkey);
console.log(pem_cert);
https.createServer( { key:pem_pkey, cert:pem_cert },(req,res)=>
{
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(443);
then it emits an error i make absolutely no idea what's about:
