no ssl certificate

[TommieWaters]

installed on windows and linux both logs are saying they cant find ssl certificates the folders there looking in are empty. ERROR: ssl certificate doesn't exist: C:\Users\Tommi\AppData\Local\Barrier\SSL\Barrier.pem
ERROR: could not load client certificates

Same here. I unchecked Enable SSL on both the client and server for now, and things work. Are we expected to generate our own certs for SSL to work?

[TommieWaters]

yeah i think so. i have ssl disabled on both too and its still not working and looking for the file in the logs

Had the same issue but you have to make sure you reload the server after unchecking Enable SSL it should work.

You can also use with SSL enabled,
just you need yo create Barrier.pem file at that location:

in linux, follow these commenda:
$ cd /home/adarsh/.local/share/barrier/SSL/
$ mkdir -p Fingerprints
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -subj /CN=barrier -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout Barrier.pem -out Barrier.pem
$ openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha256 -noout -in Barrier.pem > Fingerprints/Local.txt
$ sed -e "s/.*=/v2:sha256:/" -i Fingerprints/Local.txt

and reStart the server

yeah this is what i ended up doing eventually. completely forgot about this question i asked. thanks for the reply might help someone else as well.

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Both are compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers.

If this is still an issue in those projects, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.

Not sure which to use? This depends on your needs, but this comparison may help:

You can also check out each project's 'Insights' tab, which may help you decide.

had a quick look. thanks for the insight. id probably use deskflow as i need to connect to a raspberry pi as well but interesting there's a new fork that's maintained. ill probably just use barrier for now im kind of a set and forget type person if it works it works. appreciate your response.

No problem, "if it ain't broke" 👍 By the way, technically Deskflow is not a fork, as it's now the top-most upstream repo. Input Leap, Barrier, and Synergy are all downstream of Deskflow.
