title: Setup (https) SSL on localhost for meteor development
body: <p>How do you create a self signed SSL certificate to use on local server on mac 10.9?</p>
  
  <p>I require my localhost serving as <code>https://localhost</code></p>
  
  <p>I am using the linkedin API. The feature which requires the ssl on local host is explained here.

  <p>In brief, linkedin will send the client a bearer token after the client authorises my app to access their data. The built in javascript library by  linkedin will automatically send this cookie to my server / backend.  This json file info is used for user authentication. </p>
  
  <p>However, linkedin will not send the private cookie if the server is not https.</p>
