I have changed my configuration to use a reverse proxy.

My RP setup also includes certbot, and renews my
certificates.

It seems from https URL the latest cert is being used.

But from synchronet services, when I try to access imaps
I get TLS errors due to expiration 1/1/2025.


If I check cert by browser for https, it expires in 4/2025.

How can I make synchronet use the certs generated by
certbox, in my RP?

What is the default locations of the certs normally used by
synchronet? Could I symlink the "certbot" certs to the
expected location, or would I have to copy them there ?

You can import and export the certficate that Synchronet uses using the certtool:
https://wiki.synchro.net/module:certtool

ctrl/ssl.cert

Could I symlink the "certbot" certs to the
expected location, or would I have to copy them there ?

I don't think the "certbot" cert would be in the same format.

I tried importing the let's encrypt fullchain file, and got
the following error.

Made sure there was a blank line between
BEGIN / END segments as described in wiki.

Any suggestions, or indication what the error is telling me?

$ grep "\-43" sbbs/3rdp/src/cl/cryptlib.h

Sounds like the file you're trying to import isn't in the correct format.
