WebUI PEM Certificate upload ... no prompt for key file

  • 1.  WebUI PEM Certificate upload ... no prompt for key file

    Posted Jun 17, 2019 06:44 AM

    Trynig to upload Root/Intermediate CA and WebUI cert onto an Instant cluster.

     

    Root/Intermediate C worked just fine

     

    However ...

     

    When trying to upload a WebUI cert. I downloaded a cert in PEM format along with a key file and generated a password ( from our PKI Service)

     

    When specifying a WebUI upload, you're prompted for file name, cert type X509 with file extension of .pem,.crt or .cer

     

    and passphrase * 2 

     

    ... no prompt for the key file so install fails. with no key file error.

     

    Can't use pkcs12 as file upload tells me invalid file format 

     

    So how am I supposed to upload a .key file ?

    You will need to concatenate the key, cert, and intermediates in a single PEM file:

    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
<your private key>

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

<your signed certificate>

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<the CA intermediate that is just above your server certificate>

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<the CA intermediate that is above the first intermediate (OPTIONAL, Only if exists)>

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

    Then import that one.
