[Freeswitch-users] Achieving TLS + SRTP for inbound calls

[David P]

FWIW, I just spun-up a new debian jessie EC2, and installed FS without
creating /etc/freeswitch first. Weirdly, without my requesting them,
/etc/freeswitch/tls/ now has a wss.pem and a dtls-srtp.pem. I guess this is
what Mike was talking about when he said:

>  we will gen whats needed for dtls srtp automatically, you need to
provide the cert for wss (same as what you need for tls, as wss is just tls
secured ws)  It does require the cert and chain.

I thought that would happen only after I ran gentls_cert manually.

These aren't the pem files I need, because they have no chain section. I
guess that's what makes them self-signed. I guess what I need to do is
overwrite these two files with a concatenation of the files generated by
certbot. It puts a README in there that says:

`privkey.pem`  : the private key for your certificate.
`fullchain.pem`: the certificate file used in most server software.
`chain.pem`    : used for OCSP stapling in Nginx >=1.3.7.
`cert.pem`     : will break many server configurations, and should not be
used
                 without reading further documentation (see link below).

But the format FS wants for wss.pem is: cert, privkey, chain. Maybe that
would be> cat cert.pem privkey.pem chain.pem > wss.pem but the README
warning about cert.pem concerns me.

What format must dtls-srtp.pem have? Can it just be a copy of wss.pem?

Cheers,
David
