Emby server ssl encryption error

[Kingpinyolo 1]

Android server latest beta and stable version same issue. Ssl doesn't seem to be working logs give error and also in ssl certificate set up both with password and without password did not make a difference. Might be an issue also with the only secure connection mode only as well.

What I was able to find in logs 

System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Unable to decode certificate. ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: `MonoBtlsPkcs12.Import` failed.

   at Mono.Btls.MonoBtlsObject.CheckError 

 System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: `MonoBtlsPkcs12.Import` failed.

Hi, are you sure this is the right log file? I don't see that particular error. Thanks.

Sorry about that this should be the right one I just checked

How did you create that pfx?

[Kingpinyolo 1]

I used OpenSSL windows to convert the one I got from my ASUS router to pfx.

HI, are you still running into this with the latest build?

[Kingpinyolo 1]

Are you referring to the beta ? I’m on the latest beta still getting the error. Is there a better way to convert the cert file to pfx? Maybe I can retry that part

Hi,

Try the converter here:
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html

Thank you all I finally have it working. Fixed by 

converting certificate using sslhopper (mentioned above) thank you !! 
but I had to go through setting several times as making too many changes at once didn’t seem to register like requiring secured connection and also selecting the pfx file and putting in the password I had to do each of those steps with a separate reboot of the server to make sure the actions were taking place properly. 
also had to update port forwarding as both the https internal and external ports had to match before being able to access.

I also have vpn so I did select the the server to be whitelisted to make sure they didn’t cause the error.
