@BagroSlave Could be a Windows thing with parsing the PEM file in the Python ssl library. You might want to try modifying the load_cert_chain line to specify the key file specifically, as discussed here. Maybe also seperate the key content into a different file from the cert, make sure the openssl command line can still parse both as with the commands above, and try either Windows or Linux line ending patterns in the PEM file in case thats causing a parsing error in Python ssl. If none of that works Im out of ideas.
