  • Non-Let's Encrypt Certificates

    From Dream Master@VERT/CIAD to Digital Man on Thu Feb 25 05:34:17 2021
    I've been sitting here most of the evening playing with IMAP and noticed that it is specifying the self-signed certificate during IMAP sessions instead of the LetSyncrypt generated cert. Although I'm going to read, "Reach out to Deuce" because I mentioned IMAP, I'm curious about using some other CA for certificate purposes for webv4 (echicken) or anything else.

    Do I need to use a proxy for this or can this be integrated directly into Synchronet?

    Thanks in advance!

    According to Deuce, that's not possible unless your LetsEncrypt cert got deleted some how.

    Well Deuce is also the LetSyncrypt expert.

    You shouldn't. All TLS services in Synchronet should be using the same certificate (whether its self-signed or not). We don't even have support for multiple certificates.

    In a similar sitution, I just moved the BBS to a different,
    dedicated VPS (host.roughneckbbs.com) and have the web
    proxy via a separate server. Only issue I had is needed to
    edit all the locations where ftelnet are in the web UI to
    connect to the different hostname than the web UIs are
    using.
