I have a certificate issued by a certificate authority. I would like to
use it with the Synchronet web service. How do I go about it?

Took me a minute to find out that .p12 and .pfx are the same. I'll give
it a try.

OK, here's what I got:

What did I do wrong?

You mispelled "certtool":

C:\>dir sbbs\exec\cert*.js
Volume in drive C is System
Volume Serial Number is 4AF8-E14C

So I did. Derp.

So I ran:

[C:\sbbs\exec]jsexec certtool --import wildcard_ipingthereforeiam_com.p12

JSexec v3.17c-Win32 (rev 1.210) - Execute Synchronet JavaScript Module

sure enough, line 100 was:

print("Certificate imported, delete "+csr_fname+" after verifying.);

so I corrected the missing quote and ran again:

Now what?

Sorry to be a pain.

Is this another matter of my old version 3.16 not working, I wonder.

Or v3.17, but yeah, that could be it. Certainly you had an old revision of certtool.js, but everything else would be old too.

The only thing "new" here is my certificate file.

I know you don't want to bother with this older version, but did the
certtool import work back when 3.16 was current?

So I did a clean install of 3.19 on a spare machine. Same error.

[C:\sbbs\exec]

My guess is that the pfx file I got from Sectigo is not in fact the same
as a p12 file as stated in several places online.

According to your message's PID, you're running SBBS v3.17.

According to git, certtool.js was created Feb-28-2018 when Synchronet v3.16c was the current release (from 2015). That said, it likely required the current development build of SBBS (v3.17a) to work at that time. So I'd expect it to work with v3.17, but I didn't write it and have never used it myself.
