  • Location of SSL / Let's E

    From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to All on Sun Mar 9 23:01:00 2025
    I have changed my configuration to use a reverse proxy.

    My RP setup also includes certbot, and renews my
    certificates.

    It seems from https URL the latest cert is being used.

    But from synchronet services, when I try to access imaps
    I get TLS errors due to expiration 1/1/2025.


    If I check cert by browser for https, it expires in 4/2025.

    How can I make synchronet use the certs generated by
    certbox, in my RP?

    What is the default locations of the certs normally used by
    synchronet? Could I symlink the "certbot" certs to the
    expected location, or would I have to copy them there ?

    You can import and export the certficate that Synchronet uses using the certtool:
    https://wiki.synchro.net/module:certtool

    What is the default locations of the certs normally used by
    synchronet?

    ctrl/ssl.cert

    Could I symlink the "certbot" certs to the
    expected location, or would I have to copy them there ?

    I don't think the "certbot" cert would be in the same format.

    I tried importing the let's encrypt fullchain file, and got
    the following error.

    Made sure there was a blank line between
    BEGIN / END segments as described in wiki.

    sbbs@vmi1943160 toolazy.synchro.net]$ jsexec /sbbs/exec/certtool.js --import fullchain2.pem

    Any suggestions, or indication what the error is telling me?

    $ grep "\-43" sbbs/3rdp/src/cl/cryptlib.h
    #define CRYPT_ERROR_NOTFOUND ( -43 ) /* Requested item not found in object */

    Sounds like the file you're trying to import isn't in the correct format.
