Add how-to for `lnd` self-signed TLS certificate management

See original GitHub issue

By default, Chromium Browser / Google Chrome won’t recognize the self-signed TLS certificate prepared by lnd. This will prevent Joule from successfully connecting to lnd.

Chrome can be made to accept the self-signed cert by following these steps:

  1. navigate to https://localhost:8080/v1/getinfo
  2. click on the lock next to the URL and view the certificate
  3. navigate to the certificate viewer’s “details” tab and export the cert to a file
  4. navigate to edit > preferences > manage certificates > authorities > import
  5. check all of the boxes and import the cert

Now Chrome should accept the cert and Joule should be able to connect to lnd!

I’ll also add how to import & trust the self-signed LND certificate on MacOS:

  1. navigate to https://localhost:8080/v1/getinfo
  2. click on the lock next to the URL and view the certificate
  3. drag the certificate icon to a finder window to export the cert to a file
  4. launch keychain access app and click “+” to import certificate
  5. select the exported cert file to import it.
  6. double-click the imported certificate, click trust and choose “Always trust” when using this certificate.

I hope it helps.
