I've purchased a Comodo SSL certificate to make SSL server with express. I have these files.
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt mysite.com.key mysite.com.csr mysite_com.crt According to a lot of documents I need .pem files. But nobody is saying what is that .pem files?
var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('/key.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('/cert.pem'), ca: fs.readFileSync('/ca.pem') }; It'd be great if there is a tutorial.
Try this answer. PEM is just a format than other SSL formats, and is very common.
Comodo may have already provided you a .pem file, but just named it .crt.
OR you may be able to request a .pem file in place of a DER-formatted file.
OR, you can use OpenSSL to convert from one format to another.
openssl rsa -inform DER -outform PEM -in mysite.com.key -out mysite.com.key.pem openssl x509 -inform DER -outform PEM -in mysite.com.crt -out mysite.com.crt.pem Simply start ssl OR simple way to use PEM NPM
var https = require('https'), connect = require('connect'), fs = require("fs"); var port = 3000; var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('/key.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('/cert.pem'), ca: fs.readFileSync('/ca.pem') }; var app = express(); /* express setting */ server = require('https').createServer(options, app), server.listen(port); PEM npm is easiest way to start node server with SSL like
$> npm install pem var https = require('https'), pem = require('pem'), express = require('express'); pem.createCertificate({days:1, selfSigned:true}, function(err, keys){ var app = express(); https.createServer({key: keys.serviceKey, cert: keys.certificate}, app).listen(443); });
