Dear Phillip

thanks for your posting -- I seem to have it working. Here my lessons learned:

1) The key in a firewall/NAT setup seems to be "TLS Allow CN" as the FQDN is not necessarily that of the server behind the firewall. Without it, the check of the certificates will fail.

2) As you pointed out, TLS works with a public key, a certificate for the key, and a root certificate defining a web of trust. It is not a password mechanism, so certificates of server and client do not need to "match" (contrary to the password mechanism of bareos/bacula)

One more question:

How does the storage daemon, the director, or the file daemon know about the name of the file containing the private key ? It seems to be nowhere defined in the configuration files.

Thanks
Tilman
