My machine uses windows 8.1. And I want to generate an SSL certificate for Https requests. In this exercise I am using Node.js and Express.js. Here are my steps.
1) I am going to my project's folder and I am setting the paths for SSL.
set OPEN_SSL=c:OpenSSL-Win64\openssl.cfg
set RANDFILE=c:\Users\Theodosios\Desktop\NodeJs_Coursera\Node_Js\rest-server-
passport\bin\.rnd*
2) Next I am typing
set OPEN_SSL=c:OpenSSL-Win64\openssl.cfg
to open the OpenSSL console.
3) I am creating a private key,put my details(country,location,company's name etc,and finally I am generating a certificate.
openssl genrsa 1024 private.key
openssl req -new -key private.key -out cert.csr
openssl x509 -req -in cert.csr -signkey private.key -out certificate.pem
Now I am going to show you two files from express.

Basically the https requests are directed to port 3443. Finally I start I am starting my express server by nmp start.
I open my browser and type
https://MY_IP_GOES_HERE/3443
and I am this message.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
From my research,I found out that I should change DNS values. But in my case,this didn't work. Please advice.
Thanks,
Theo.
