[Freeswitch-users] SSL cert required fields

[Brian West]

It sounds like you used the CA cert as your certificate instead of creating
one.

I would highly recommend you read this:

https://stash.freeswitch.org/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/docs/how_to_make_your_own_ca_correctly.txt?raw

gen_tls should work also, but I had to do these steps last week as everyone
kept reporting that they couldn't use their self signed certs, So I did a
little how to on setting up a CA from scratch that would work.
