I think this is the issue. When I inspect the certificate in a text editor, I am only seeing the certificate but no private key. I guess the plan is to try and figure out where the private key goes when this was generated.

I've seen one occurrence of this same message, and in that case, it was the formatting of the file that was imported. If you do PEM/CRT (Base64), make sure you follow this structure:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----Public signed Key-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----Intermediate Primary CA-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----Intermediate Secondary CA-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----Private Key-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
Working with your Aruba partner, or Aruba Support should get the issue found, or a proper file to be imported created quickly. I can have a look at it, but I would not recommend sharing your private key with someone on a forum.

The format I tried to use was a .cer. I tried a .pem as well but it still seems to give me the same error.

There is probably something wrong with how your formatted the certificate for the upload. What is the format/type you use?

Hello everyone,
I am having some trouble getting an SSL certificate installed on our virtual controller (instant.arubanetworks.com). I would like to use this for secure connections for admins logging in via web browser for management. I have been able to get the CA certificate installed, but when I attempt to install a new Web UI certificate I get the following error. I am using an internal CA to generate the certificate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
