Hi Dan,

Maybe the private key is encrypted using a passphrase. Verify this using following command :

cat /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_key_d/\:Common\:mycert.key_1_1

If it starts with

"-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----"

=> you will need the passphrase to read it

else if it begins with:

"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----"

=> you have another issue

Thanks
