We've changed all our certificates from RSA certs to ECC certificates over the past few months.
The certificate we used on our directadmin configuration has expired recently and we've tried to replace the current certificate (RSA private key) with an ECC private key (and correspondig certificate) but directadmin doesn't seem to support this.
After we change the config and point it to the new cert/key the service won't start and the only hint we found was in the directadmin error.log file.

Code:
2018:06:19-22:02:13: error:140CE009:SSL routines:SSL_use_RSAPrivateKey_file:PEM lib
2018:06:19-22:03:01: error loading certificate key

Can anyone conform that ECC certificates are curently not supported by direct admin or give us a hint on how the change the current behaviour for directadmin since it seems to force the usage of a RSAPrivateKey by OpenSSL according to the log.

Our directadmin version is: v.1.53.0
Custombuild: Version: 2.0.0 (rev: 1879)
