Problems creating SSL Profile

I'm having an issue with the creation of an SSL Profile from an exported cert from IIS. We've exported it as a .pfx. The certificate appears to import properly and is selectable in the Profile I am creating.

 

The current error is "01070315:3 profile /Common/stgf5-rabbitmq requires a key".

 

 

I am entering the passphrase we used to create the pfx file originally. And I have selected the key file that was imported. I'm at a loss how to get past this issue.

 

For the record, we have also imported the key using a PEM file instead and separating out the crt and key files, but get the same issue.

    Greetings,

     

    The .pfx is a PKCS12 file, meaning it contains a key and certificate. Because there's a key, you need to passphrase protect it. However, do you happen to know if the key was created using a pass phrase too? I believe we should have two different passphrases. Try it sans-passphrase?

     

    Let us know. Thanks! Kevin
