# A Deep Dive into Mutual TLS (mTLS) with NodeJS
This project contains source code and supporting files for a server and client application that demonstrate mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication between a client and a server. The server and client is written in NodeJS.
This is a companion project to the blog post [Securing Node.js Communication: A Deep Dive into Mutual TLS (mTLS)](https://blog.hasitha.xyz/securing-nodejs-communication-a-deep-dive-into-mutual-tls-mtls).
## Getting Started
To get started, clone this repository and install the dependencies.
```bash
git clone [email protected]:hasithaishere/mtls-with-nodejs.git
cd nodejs-mtls
npm install
```
## Running the Server
To run the server, run the following command:
```bash
npm run server
```
## Running the Client
To run the client, run the following command:
```bash
npm run client
```
----
For the sample code to run correctly, please add the test domain names to your `/etc/hosts` file. This will prevent connection errors.
