[Freeswitch-users] TLS with Cisco SPA112

Turns out there isn't a way to load any cert onto the spa112, and its logging it not helpful at all. I'm still at a loss of how to get it to work.

I got https provisioning working with the devices, so perhaps I can reuse some of those files. I haven't been able to figure out what agent.pem/cafile.pem combination to use though.

For getting the spa112 to work with https provisioning, I did the following:
1. (on server, private key) openssl genrsa -out <file.key> 1024
2. (on server, generate cert request) openssl req -new -key <file.key> -out <file.csr>
3. sent the `file.csr` to cisco and they sent back a `file.crt` with the signed certificate.
4. cisco also sent back a combinedca.crt with many certificates in that file.

In my apache virtual host I put
#Server Cert
SSLCertificateFile .../file.crt

#Server Private Key:
SSLCertificateKeyFile .../file.key

#Client authentication Certificate Authority (CA)
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLCACertificatePath .../path/
SSLCACertificateFile .../path/combinedca.crt


I have tried the following, but neither worked. 

1)
cat `file.crt` `file.key` > agent.pem
cp `file.crt` cafile.pem

2)
cat `file.crt` `file.key` > agent.pem
cp `combinedca.crt` cafile.pem


Any suggestions on how I might use those files to make a TLS profile for the cisco devices? 

Thanks,
Nick

I tried modifying gentls to use rsa:1024 instead of ec, but I'm still getting the same error messages in the sofia log when the SPA112 tries to connect. FSClient connects with both rsa:1024 and rsa:2048, but I haven't tried to connect any other devices to the server.
