Ability To Change The Ssl Certificate.

[psyfer9983]

How about an option to change the SSL certificate?

 

I have a Synology NAS with HTTPS enforcement turned on. Chrome barks at the self signed certificate and will not load the gui for Btsync. If the Btsync package was to use the certificate on the system, this would work too. The location of the SSL certificate on the Synology is "/usr/syno/etc/ssl" and the file names are "ssl.crt" and "ssl.key"

Please see the help.getsync.com website as it has multiple documents on how to change some behavior or things with the config file.

 

Here is a dump of the sample config file from the binary:

pi@raspberrypi:~/.btsync$ ./btsync --dump-sample-config{  "device_name": "My Sync Device",  "listening_port" : 0, // 0 - randomize port/* storage_path dir contains auxilliary app files if no storage_path field: .sync dir created in the directory   where binary is located. otherwise user-defined directory will be used */// "storage_path" : "/home/user/.sync",/* set location of pid file */// "pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync/btsync.pid",/* use UPnP for port mapping */  "use_upnp" : true,/* limits in kB/s. 0 - no limit */  "download_limit" : 0,  "upload_limit" : 0,/* proxy configuration */// "proxy_type" : "socks4", // Valid types: "socks4", "socks5", "http_connect".

As you can see there are two lines that say

//  ,"ssl_certificate" : "/path/to/cert.pem"//  ,"ssl_private_key" : "/path/to/private.key"

and there you can specify your own SSL certs.
