Use a custom certificate

You can use custom SSL certificates with Sandbox. If you set "secure": true in the Sandbox client configuration file, the client will automatically generate a self-signed certificate.

Alternatively, you could generate a self-signed certificate with this command:

   openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -nodes -keyout example.key -out example.crt -subj "/CN=example.com" -days 3650

Follow these steps to use a custom SSL certificate with your Sandbox.

1. Open your config.json file.

2. Modify the file to include the certChainPath and keyPath for your certificate.

If you have a custom certificate, modify the config.json file to include the certChainPath and keyPath for your certificate as shown.

   "sandboxServerInfo": {
    "secure": true,
    "port": 9550,
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "cert": {
      "certChainPath": "/Users/asmith/Desktop/cert/example.crt",
      "keyPath": "/Users/asmith/Desktop/cert/example.key"
    }
