| Generate self signed cert and key 'pem' files (good for 10 years): |
| |
| openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem |
| |
| You can just hit carriage returns to accept the default values, except for "Common Name"; you |
| should enter 'localhost', or an actual hostname. |
| |
| The same keys can be used for both communicating instances; same or different machines. |
