var pems = selfsigned.generate(null, {
  keySize: 2048, // the size for the private key in bits (default: 1024)
  days: 30, // how long till expiry of the signed certificate (default: 365)
  notBeforeDate: new Date(), // The date before which the certificate should not be valid (default: now)

});

You can avoid key pair generation specifying your own keys ({ keyPair: { publicKey: '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----...', privateKey: '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----...' })

Generate Client Certificates

If you are in an environment where servers require client certificates, you can generate client keys signed by the original (server) key.

var pems = selfsigned.generate(null, { clientCertificate: true });
console.log(pems)
