Unable to create SSL certificate using provided parameters. Exception detail: Unable to decode certificate

mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 6.8.0.105 (Debian 6.8.0.105+dfsg-3.3 Wed Dec 14 17:29:20 UTC 2022)

/usr/bin/duplicati-server --webservice-interface=any --webservice-port=10443 --webservice-sslcertificatefile=/root/.config/Duplicati/keyStore.pfx --webservice-sslcertificatepassword=apassword

Setup with:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout myKey.pem -out cert.pem -days 3650 -nodes

openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyStore.pfx -inkey myKey.pem -in cert.pem

Verified with

openssl pkcs12 -in keyStore.pfx

which worked when I gave the password.

However, I get this error from duplicati:

/usr/bin/duplicati-server --webservice-interface=any --webservice-port=8443 --webservice-sslcertificatefile=/root/.config/Duplicati/keyStore.pfx --webservice-sslcertificatepassword=apassword

how did you get this outdated version ? following the official process to install Duplicati gets you 6.12.

I downloaded the deb and used apt-get install ./duplicati_2.0.7.1-1_all.deb

Apt automatically added the following dependencies on Ubuntu 23.04 (server edition) so Iā€™d guess that the .deb dependency list doesnā€™t lock to a later version:

Since my version of Ubuntu is EoL Iā€™m going to update my distro and configure 23.10 to pull the latest mono from Microsoft.

Also doing a reinstall of Duplicati.

There is a documentation for Duplicati, see it here:

Upgraded to 23.10. Used the instructions at Duplicati 2 Userā€™s Manual, but the following errors were encountered:

# openssl version

Using Ubuntu 23.10.

this is an OpenSSL 3 compatibility problem. SSL support by Mono is an old thing and not updated anymore. If you want to use a ā€˜protectedā€™ pkcs12, youā€™ll need to use openssl 1.1.1 to generate it.

Mono cannot install and parse x.509 certificate that created by OpenSSL 3.0 toolkit #21565
suggests using -legacy which seems to help. Iā€™m not an expert and havenā€™t tested it much.
