Hello,

i've problem with self-signed certicate .

I created files .pem with

```auto
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout privkey.pem -out cert.pem -days 1095

```

And the logs shows this problem :

```auto
0|node-red | Failed to get https settings: Error: error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt
0|node-red | Error: error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt

0|node-red | at /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/red.js:209:24

```

settings.js

```auto
    https: {
      key: require("fs").readFileSync('/home/ubuntu/.node-red/privkey.pem'),
      cert: require("fs").readFileSync('/home/ubuntu/.node-red/cert.pem')
    },

```

What is the solution for ?
