SSL issue now....

Server: 4.3.3 Kubuntu 20.04 XPRA HTML 5.0
Client: 4.3.3 Kubuntu 20.04 w/FF 100.0


using:

xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000 --html=on  
--ssl-cert=/etc/xpra/ssl-cert.pem --ssl=on --env=XPRA_VAAPI=0 ....


FF refuses to connect, doesn't give the option to accept the self signed cert,

Check the /var/log....

Ummm, but yes I did spec a path for the cert

checking /etc/xpra/

Yes, ssl-cert.pem has a cert in it, not posting it for obvious reasons...

Should this stuff really be owned by root????????

Shrug?????
