An example to demonstrate how to set up SSL for LoopBack applications so you can call the REST APIs using HTTPS.
$ cd loopback-example-ssl/server/private
$ openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 1024
$ openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out certrequest.csr
$ openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pemIn ssl-config.js:
var path = require('path'),
fs = require("fs");
exports.privateKey = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, './private/privatekey.pem')).toString();
exports.certificate = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, './private/certificate.pem')).toString();The code is in server/server.js:
var https = require('https');
var sslConfig = require('./ssl-config');
...
var options = {
key: sslConfig.privateKey,
cert: sslConfig.certificate
};
...
server.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
var baseUrl = (httpOnly? 'http://' : 'https://') + app.get('host') + ':' + app.get('port');
app.emit('started', baseUrl);
console.log('LoopBack server listening @ %s%s', baseUrl, '/');
});
return server; $ node ./server/server.jshttps://localhost:3000/explorer
