Code

Per the documentation on HTTPS settings:
https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverhttps

Is there a way to specify that a passphrase is required for the .key file? If not, are you aware of any possible workarounds that I could look into that would circumvent the webpack config?

My other question would be is this possible via webpack-cli? It seems like the options are the same between webpack-dev-server and webpack-cli, but not sure if more actions could be possible via webpack-cli.

Please use stackoverflow or gitter for questions.

We use https://github.com/jfromaniello/selfsigned package for generation certificates. Here issue jfromaniello/selfsigned#23. No workarounds, you can send a PR to the original repo and we update the package after merge.
