Solid requires SSL certificates to be valid, so you cannot use self-signed certificates. To switch off this security feature in development environments, you can use the `bin/solid-test` executable, which unsets the `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` flag and sets the `rejectUnauthorized` option.

If you want to run in multi-user mode on localhost, do the following:
72+
* configure the server as such with `bin/solid-test init`
73+
* start the server with `bin/solid-test start`
74+
* visit https://localhost:8443 and register a user, for instance 'myusername'.
75+
* Edit your hosts file and add a line `127.0.0.1 myusername.localhost`
76+
* Now you can visit https://myusername.localhost:8443.

##### How do I get an SSL key and certificate?
7279
You need an SSL certificate from a _certificate authority_, such as your domain provider or [Let's Encrypt!](https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/).
