SSL Configuration for Openfire

I’m trying to setup an openfire server on my local machine. The server has automatically picked up my keys from ~/.ssh and the console shows that they are installed properly. However, these keys aren’t signed by a CA. I’m just looking to do some basic tests.

When I try to establish an SSL session through a python script, it throws up the following error.

 139954175678120:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:766:

Am I missing something?
