  • using existing key and cert

    From Tracker1@VERT/TRN to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Discussion on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 16:02:30
    I'm not seeing a place to set a private key and cert I'm using from
    another system that's managing https and letsencrypt.

    I have a server.key and server.crt file. I do see an ssl.cert in the sbbs/ctrl directory, but the only key there is a cryptlib key. I tried replacing these two files and restarting sbbs, but that didn't work.

    Where do I put these files, or can I configure synchronet to use the
    generated files already existing?

    I don't think you currently can. Deuce (in irc.synchro.net) would be the one to check with for sure.

    Thanks, I'll have to try to connect with Deuce on irc... Was hoping I was just missing something, or maybe it was undocumented.
