crypto.createCredentials()

crypto.createCredentials(details)

The crypto.createCredentials() method is a deprecated alias for creating and returning a tls.SecureContext object. The crypto.createCredentials() method should not be used.

The optional details argument is a hash object with keys:

• pfx : {String|Buffer} - PFX or PKCS12 encoded private key, certificate and CA certificates
• key : {String} - PEM encoded private key
• passphrase : {String} - passphrase for the private key or PFX
• cert : {String} - PEM encoded certificate
• ca : {String|Array} - Either a string or array of strings of PEM encoded CA certificates to trust.
• crl : {String|Array} - Either a string or array of strings of PEM encoded CRLs (Certificate Revocation List)
• ciphers: {String} using the OpenSSL cipher list format describing the cipher algorithms to use or exclude.

If no 'ca' details are given, Node.js will use Mozilla's default publicly trusted list of CAs.
