AltostratusSeparate Key and Certificate vs RSA Certificate & Key
Hi,
I wonder what is difference between separately importing Certificate and Key vs importing Key and then after clicking on key importing certificate? Is there any usage of second option?
...
There's no big difference, only the number of configuration objects varies. If you do the second option, the certificate you import will be automatically named the same as your key object. Since name overlaps, a merged object will be created. I prefer to keep a matching certificate and private key in one configuration object (RSA Certificate & Key).
You can achieve the same merged object solution if you import certificate and key separately, but with the exact same object name. If there's any difference in naming, you will end up with two objects instead.

CirrostratusHi,
Thanks for info. So if I have just one RSA Certificate & Key object should I choose it for both Key and Certificate fields when for example setting clientssl profile - so same file chosen for Certificate and Key?
