Instead of providing sslCert and sslKey configuration properties, sslOptions can be specified, which allows the use of all possible options for SSL configuration as provided here.

sslOptions can either be specified as an object, or as a string pointing to an encrypted file created with the store_options.js utility.

Using store_options.js

The store_options.js script creates an encrypted file containing the SSL options. This is especially useful when you are using an SSL passphrase and don't want to store it in the clear in your configuration file.

Usage

The syntax for the command is:

node store_options.js --key1 value1 --key2 value2

If a value contains special characters, such as a backslash ( \ ), make sure to enclose the value in quotes or escape it. For example:

node store_options.js --pfx "c:\pjscerts\cert.pfx"

or

node store_options.js --pfx c:\\pjscerts\\cert.pfx

Output file

The default output file is name is ssl_options. To specify a different output file, use the --file command line parameter. For eample:
