   The filename and location is the same, whether it self-signed or signed by a   
   CA (e.g. letsyncrypt), it's ctrl/ssl.cert: https://wiki.synchro.   
   et/config:ssl.cert

   ../../3rdp_src/cl/cryptlib.h:#define CRYPT_ERROR_NOTFOUND       ( -43 ) /*   
   Requested item not found in object */   
      
   Most likely, it just doesn't support the format of the .pem file.   
      
   I think the --import option expects a pkcs7 certificate, while   
   the --import-pkcs12 option expects a pkcs12 certificate.   
      
   The utility works for those that know how to work it.
