Trying to setup self signed certificates into sqldbrestapi server
(components/sqldbrest/demo/restbridge/restserver.lpi) for development
purposes, but it does not work.
eg using https://deliciousbrains.com/ssl-certificate-authority-for-
local-https-development trick to create certificages.
nginx works fine with this certs, but sqldbrestapi server with ssl=on
does not work.
There's already old topic where same problem exists but seem that
there's no solution for problem.

Fixed with latest synapse version. Certificate must be valid.
I've setted up self signed certificate without password.
For development (on linux) using trick in /etc/hosts for hostname eg.

# my devel machine eth0
192.168.xx.xx   api.mydomain.com

#self signed cert is created with api.mydomain.com
Application.CertificatePrivateKey := 'mycert.key';
Application.Certificate := 'mycert.crt';

And it works
