Use self-signed cert on local machine to test embedded app

Yubin L

We want to explore embeded app on webex client at the entry point. At the very beginning phase, we want to use local machine as HTTPS server. The following steps were tried:

1, Use openssl to generate self-signed cert and private key. The common name is "mytest.com'

2, In hosts file in Windows, add "127.0.0.1 mytst.com". 

3. Add the self-signed cert into root trusted cert through certmgr.msc on Windows.

4, Develop pythong code to work as HTTPS server with the generated-self-signed cert and key. Run the code. 

5, Follow steps to create a new embeded app on sidebar. The domain is "mytest.com". And the URL is "https://mytest.com/index".

6, Create index.html on local machine

7. Log in to webex, the new added app is displayed at sidebar. Hit the button but recevie "connection isn't secure. We didn't connect because we couldn't verify its security credentials."

Please provide advice on the solution. 

Or if it's possible to use HTTP to work around the need of cert if the app is under develop mode.
