Initialization

As sicarii is built for http2, SSL certificates are required. The default path for the ssl certificates is as follows:

• ./cert/localhost.cert
• ./cert/localhost.key

These options be edited in the default ./config/config.json file at config.ssl.

• for using the key/cert/pfx/ca options, a path to the file should be provided as the arg.
• config.server accepts all of the same default arguments as nodejs http2 server config.
• sicarii will automatically combine config.ssl with config.server

self signed certificates can be used for development and created as follows:

ECDSA

$ openssl ecparam -name secp384r1 -genkey -out localhost.key
$ openssl req -new -x509 -key localhost.key -out localhost.cert -days 365

RSA

$ openssl req -x509 -new -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout localhost.key -days 365 -out localhost.cert
