Running NodeJS with TLS protocol - node.js

Question

Generated a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL and copied the certificate & the private key to the required destination folder.
To create an HTTPS server, we require two things: an SSL certificate, and Node's built-in https module.
With Node.js installed, I tried the following JavaScript to run from the command Line
TLSServer.js
var tls = require('tls');
var fs = require('fs');
var port = 8081; //3000;
var host = '127.0.0.1'; //192.168.1.135
var options = {
key: fs.readFileSync('private-key.pem'), // /path/to/private-key.pem
cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem') // /path/to/certificate.pem
};
TLSClient.js
var client = tls.connect(port, host, options, function() {
console.log('connected');
if (client.authorized) {
console.log('authorized: ' + client.authorized);
client.on('data', function(data) {
client.write(data); // Just send data back to server
});
} else {
console.log('connection not authorized: ' + client.authorizationError);
}
});
Actual Output:
cmd>node TLSServer.js
openssl config failed: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error
cmd>node TLSClient.js
openssl config failed: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error
events.js:193
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

What might be the reason for getting this issue:
openssl config failed: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error
httpserver.js
var fs = require('fs');
var https = require('https');
var options = {
key: fs.readFileSync('private-key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem')
};
https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200);
res.write("You are connected to https server");
res.end("\n hello world \n");
}).listen(8080)
https://localhost:8080
From browser I used to get the following output:
You are connected to https server
hello world
But not with TLS Client/Server. But what might be there to modify in OpenSSL config file?

Answer 1

Solved openssl config failed: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error by adding the path of openssl.cnf in Environment Variables -> System Variables
OPENSSL_CONF=C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl.cnf
To validate it you can type in the shell:
echo %OPENSSL_CONF%
But still I'm getting error with TLSServer.js
cmd>node TLSServer.js
module.js:544
throw err;
