You can copy some of these files and overwrite your existing pregenerated certs:
* Put your wildcard_jenp_net.crt as ~/unrealircd/conf/ssl/server.cert.pem
* Put your www_jenp_net.key as ~/unrealircd/conf/ssl/server.key.pem
Then do a "/REHASH -ssl" on IRC and test it.

Sometimes part of the certificate chain needs to be added as well, this depends on the certificate authority, but the above is a good start.

pfff and I spent a week on this and google.
and the solution was simply giving it another name in 2 files.
thank you very much for the short but very effective answer.
