Getting this error
Error [ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID]: Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: IP: 5.5.5.5 is not in the cert's list:

Added -addext "subjectAltName=IP:5.5.5.5" to openssl req in https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/nodejs-self-signed-certificate-example/src/branch/master/make-root-ca-and-certificates.sh Still getting same error

It worked. had to add the below in client nodejs code

checkServerIdentity: function (host, cert) {
  return undefined;
}

That's not working. That's entirely crippling the security of your system, guaranteeing that an attacker can use any forged certificate.

You disabled SSL, essentially.

So the below code almost disables SSL?

checkServerIdentity: function (host, cert) {
  return undefined;
}

Why do I get IP is not in the cert's list error although I did add -addext "subjectAltName=IP:5.5.5.5 ?
