Hello,
First - I am not a bot linking wizard.
So as we go over this, if someone else sees something that I've said that isn't quite right - please jump in here.
Next - I do have some 1.8.4 bots linked. I don't really USE the links, I just did it for the heck of it. Probably to try to help answer some question in here, and just left them linked. This means that I can go look at my .conf files for you. And that's how I'm going to proceed.

I don't know if all the bots are on the same server yet, or not. Please advise.
I don't know if bots will not like it, if all bots on same server are trying to use the same .key and .cert files.
I do see that - for some reason (it's been a long time. I don't remember why.) - I do not use eggdrop.key and eggdrop.crt as filenames.
I use botnick.key and botnick.crt .
Yes, my eggdrop dir has several .key and .crt files in it.
That way, each bot has its own unique files to load.
I do not know if this is necessary, or not. Sorry.
But, it is the way mine is set up, and mine connects, and it *might* make a difference - so I'm letting you know.
the hubs config contains
set ssl-privatekey "eggdrop.key"
set ssl-certificate "eggdrop.crt"
set ssl-capath "/etc/ssl/"
set ssl-ciphers "ALL"
set ssl-cert-auth 0
set ssl-verify-dcc 0
set ssl-verify-bots 0
set ssl-verify-clients 0
I looked at these lines that you've mentioned.
Here is copy-and-paste from my hub bot:
Code: Select all
set ssl-privatekey "lb1.key"
set ssl-certificate "lb1.crt"
set ssl-capath "/etc/ssl/"
#set ssl-ciphers ""
#set ssl-cert-auth 0
#set ssl-verify-dcc 0
#set ssl-verify-bots 0
#set ssl-verify-clients 0
As you can see, several of the commands that you are using, are simply commented out and unused in mine.
I'm obviously doing something wrong which isn't surprising as I know nothing about SSL/TLS and certificates
That's two of us!
Can someone ELI5 what I am doing wrong or point me to some directions on how to link 1.8.4 bots beyond the instructions in the Docs that just tell you how to make the certs.
I will gladly - as time permits - compare what I've got, to what you've got, back and forth with you, until you get it going. And if we keep chatting about it in here, perhaps somebody else that DOES know specifics will jump in.
But I cannot tell you if the settings are ideal. At best, if you get it going, then you now have a known starting point, to return to as you tweak and tune it yourself.
I hope this helps.
