[Freeswitch-users] SSL cert required fields

I am not sure I follow, if you could elaborate any more?  I was following
https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SIP_TLS#Configuration and using the
provided gentls_cert script.  I believe this creates a CA (if one wasn't
already created) and then generate and signs certificates.  Finally it
outputs eveything needed into the agent.pem and cafile.pem files.  Since
these work, I assume these are the correct type of cert? (Not positive
where WSS comes into play).

My only issue is when I use my existing certificates that I am using on my
current freeswitch, I do not get a certificate passed to the client.
 Looking at sofia status shows the profile started with (TLS) after it.  If
I just swap out my certs for the ones the script generated, and restart,
everything works again.  So I assume there is some requirement that has
changed for certs, but I can't figure out what it is wanting.

Using the script for my test/dev works just fine, but when I go to replace
my running machines I would like to use the existing certs.  If I need to
recreate them to add something to the cert, I can do that as well, but I
will need to do it with the CA I have been using so I need to figure out
what options I am missing (assuming that is my problem).
