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.net/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.
