Hello

When you upload SSL files, WCS does import these files into single file /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/wss.jks
Even if you upload Encrypted SSL files, you would need to upload decryption password too.
Therefore Upload works with un-ecnrypted SSL only. As you can see, there is no password field in the Uploading UI.
So encrypted upload is not supported.

Well. You can upload Encrypted SSL to server manually, i.e. using scp or SSH client.
Anyway you would need to know decryption password to import your decrypted SSL files into wss.jks according to this instruction:

Websocket SSL - Web Call Server 5.1 - EN - Flashphoner Documentation

docs.flashphoner.com

Yes you can import encrypted SSL files into wss.jks using keytool.
However encrypted wss.jks is not supported and won't work.

We raise a ticket related Encrypted certificates.
WCS-3920

However it has a low priority and may take a long time.

Please note. Even If ticket is implemented you have to pass decryption password each time when you restart WCS, as it is being done by Apache or other web servers using encrypted SSL files.
