[Interest] server certificate integration

[Samuel Gaist]

Hi,

Why not pass the path to the certificate as a parameter of your application ?

That way, you can configure it in the startup script of your server and just need to restart/reload it when the time comes to update the certificate.

Another possibility is to use a configuration file in which you point your application to where the certificates are.

Hope it helps

Best regards
Samuel
