There is a demo in the flows library that will get you started...  
[https://flows.nodered.org/flow/c70d0b4c54b583cf30c7e989b74feb68](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/c70d0b4c54b583cf30c7e989b74feb68)  
...You dont necessarily need the frontend stuff (you can remove it).

  

As for https/certs - search the forum (this has been covered a few times) - [here is one such article](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-ssl-using-letsencrypt-certbot/17606)

As for "credentials (username and password)" see the official documentation ["securing-node-red"](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red)
