I have a local REST-API service based on node/express and MongoDB.
I am planning to switch over from http to https.
The Clients are running on Windows Server 2012 R2 (Terminal-Server).
The REST-API is hosted via Docker on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server.
I know:
- I have to create a self signed certificate by using openSSL on the server hosting the API
- Browsers have problems accepting self signed certificates
My Question:
- Is it possible that Clients (Chrome) will accept the HTTPS connection using a self signed certificate?
