Hello. Legacy setup works fine but after multiple times following the documentation I cannot get this working.

Thanks for any help!

I get:

Are you trying to use a client certificate as a server cert or vice versa?

Thanks I've tried generating both a server cert (CA signed,) and a combined one. The error is the same both ways. I have created a cert for the user.

Geeez I re-did the cert again so I must have missed something, works now. Thanks for steering me in the right direction!
