Enabling SSL

1. Get a certificate

You can use your existing certificate or create a new one using mkcert utility. Follow the installation guide for your platform.
After installation install mkcert certificate into your system by running the command below:
mkcert -install
Now we need to create a certificate. To create a certificate run command below:
> mkcert localhost 127.0.0.1
Created a new certificate valid for the following names 📜
- "localhost"
- "127.0.0.1"
The certificate is at "./localhost+1.pem" and the key at "./localhost+1-key.pem"
It will expire on 13 May 2023 🗓
Now we have all files that we need for CMA config.

2. Setup CMA

Add to your cma.js file field ssl with the following object:
module.export = {
... other configuration
ssl: {
enabled: true,
ssl_certificate: './localhost+1.pem',
ssl_certificate_key: './localhost+1-key.pem'
}
}
That is it! Just now we have enabled SSL in our application! Now to apply changes we need to run start command without -s option.
You can run only one application with SSL enabled at the time because it will use port 443 which is the default port for SSL.
