An SSL certificate cannot be uploaded to the SVP if the passphrase is set. If the passphrase is set, use the following procedure to release the passphrase for the SSL certificate before applying it to the SVP.
- The private key (server.key file) must have been created.
- OpenSSL must be installed. In this procedure, it is installed in C:\openssl.
- All users must be logged out of Device Manager - Storage Navigator.
Example (when passphrase is set)
-
When the key type is RSA:
C:\key>C:\openssl\bin\openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key Enter pass phrase for server.key:
-
When the key type is ECDSA:
C:\openssl\bin\openssl ec -in server.key -out server.key read EC key Enter PEM pass phrase:
Example (when passphrase is not set)
-
When the key type is RSA:
C:\key>C:\openssl\bin\openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key writing RSA key
-
When the key type is ECDSA:
C:\openssl\bin\openssl ec -in server.key -out server.key read EC key writing EC key
