The default settings.js has everything you need, you just need to uncomment some stuff and put in the location of your certificate and private key pem files.

The following page on my blog should point you in the right direction:
> **[How to create secure certificates](https://it.knightnet.org.uk/kb/nr-qa/https-valid-certificates/)**
>
> Generate certificates for Node-RED that are trusted by all modern browsers. This will let you access Node-RED (and other services) over an encrypted HTTPS link.
It doesn't just show you how to get certs but also how to configure Node-RED and some other things.
