cert.crt and private.key in keys generated should be your server certificate and key. You can use openssl to view the certificate contents to ensure that the properties of the cert are correct for your server like DNS entries and common name etc.

`openssl x509 -in keys-generated/cert/cert.crt -text -noout`
