Chrome errors (net :: ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID) on a self-signed SSL certificate

Question

I am trying to set up a site on localhost using a self-signed certificate for Express.js on Windows 10. Here is the Express.js server code.

index.js

const https = require('https')
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')

const httpsOptions = {
    cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'ssl', 'ca.crt')),
    key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'ssl', 'ca.key'))
}

const router = require('./router')

app.use('/people', router)

https.createServer(httpsOptions, app)
    .listen(3443)

I also imported the ca.crt certificate file into chrome and restarted chrome. But I still have an error on chrome, as shown below:

Please help solve this problem. Thanks

I created the keys and certificate using the following commands.

# certificate authority key
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out ca.key

# server key
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out server.key

# certificate authority
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -subj "/CN=Test CA/O=Test Organization" -out ca.crt

# certificate signing request
openssl req -new -key server.key -subj "/CN=localhost/O=Test Organization" -out server.csr

# server certificate
openssl x509 -days 365 -req -in server.csr -CAcreateserial -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -out server.crt

# verification
openssl verify -verbose -CAfile ca.crt server.crt
