Please feel free to inspect Barrier's [source code][src_code].

## SSL CERTIFICATE DOES NOT EXIST

- Barrier app on macOS and Windows currently does not generate SSL certificate automatically in server mode.

Hence, user will find the error `ssl certificate doesn't exist: <somepath>/Barrier.pem`. The `Barrier.pem` file is located differently in macOS and Windows.

- macOS 12.5.1
```shell
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/barrier/SSL/Barrier.pem
```

- Windows 11 21H2

```shell
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Barrier\SSL\Barrier.pem
```

Use OpenSSL to generate SSL cert with the command below and copy it into the corresponding directory.

```shell
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 9999 -subj /CN=Barrier -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout Barrier.pem -out Barrier.pem
```
