how to import private key in order to install certificate

Wed, 2007-06-20 13:19 — jshaye

Greetings,

I can't be the only one having this problem. Our engineering team requested a SSL certificate for our development server using one of their computers. The request was not generated from the luminis box.

When I try to install the certificate on the luminis box it complains:
Incorrect Usage: No Private Key
The server could not find the private key associated with this certificate

The engineer gave the the key as a text file containing:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
........
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

How do I import this key so I can install the certificate

Did you ever find a way to import private key?

Scott,
Did you ever figure out how to import the private key? If you do, can you share your instructions?
Thanks.
Phil.

Nothing is ever easy :(

We were never able to get this resolved. This was our development Luminis so we just wiped the box and re-installed.

No kidding!

I find it's hard to believe that other schools are NOT having this issue. The action line tech support shared the link that has instructions import the private key but it's a bit confusing. This is the URL the guy referred to: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=759&threadID=5239110.

Luminis 3 or 4?

Are you installing the cert on the Sun JES web server or Tomcat?

Private key issue

I believe Scott and I try it on Sun JES box. I haven't tested on the Tomcat yet.
Thanks.
