Unable to decode the PEM-encoded private key

Ignition

Hi, I called support for this, after a couple of tries came up with this procedure:

  1. Open the .pfx file with Keystore explorer
  2. Export the Private Key as PKCS#8 and include the password.
  3. Now in that same pfx file, click Export Certificate Chain and select "Entire Chain" and X.509 as well as PEM. That will generate a .cer file.
  4. Now in the wizard, throw the private key file in as your private key and then use the cer for server certificate. It carries the rest of the chain and will auto-populate on the screen.

You have to download Keystore Explorer for this.

Hope that helps
