Looks to me like you created the certificate as io user, but installed it in the wrong store, then called a non-existent cert in the ini.
I can offer some help for version 5.8.5r, nothing after that because they have never worked for me, and AFAIK they are not supported in any way.
It is not necessary to have the io service "run as user" to be able to use SSL. However, it is necessary to create and install the certificate as the user that is running the ioftpd, in this case, and in my case, as the local system account. This means you must create a batch file that does this and execute it within io, with io running as the user it usually does. This whole process, and it does work for me exactly as explained, is laid out in the knowledge base under:
Installation>>Q: How can I install a SSL certificate from ioFTPD running as a service ?
helpful reading is also the "installing an SSL cert" document in help follder inside your ioftpd directory.
