Emby not using https

[Jdiesel 1431]

I can no longer get Emby server to use the app signed SSL certificates and enable https. I was previously using letsencrypt signed certificates which I've since removed from my config. Now I can't seem to connect to Emby over https over any port including the default 8920. I've tried changing both the public and private ports with no luck. I know the ports are forwarded correctly.

It appears that it is failing to load the certificate

2017-05-01 11:46:47.4909 Error App: Error loading cert from /var/lib/emby-server/ssl/cert_54522e99effc77b8a5bc7ed2e196033b.pfx

I see you have updated to mono 4.8. We have not yet certified that for use with Emby. The cert will have no problem under mono 4.6.X. Thanks.

Strangely enough the changes you made to today's beta seemed to fix my issue. I am able to connect on the default https port of 8920. Still no luck when changing the public port to 443 though. I will try downgrading mono.

In that case mono version won't change anything. Changing to port 443 requires special platform specific consideration which you will need to research for your particular OS/distro. In general it will bring more complication so we don't recommend it.

Thanks got it figure out. For those who may stumble across this later thread at a later time, I added a route in iptables to redirect traffic from port 443 to 8920. This is only an issue for those running a server connected directly to the internet as only root users can bind to ports below 1024.

Thanks for the info.
