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.
