Private key

[Aussie John]

Hi I have a SAN SSL certificate with the primary and the intermediate .ctr files

Is any one able to explain how I generate the private key (on Mac OSX server High Sierra)

 

thanks Kindly

I have tried a few things without success but I feel I must be close. Maybe someone can see the error of my ways.

 

My process

1 Select the certificate in keychain.

2 Export to .p12, giving it a password as requested

3 Convert to .Pem file using: openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -nodes -in /Users/svradmin/Documents/serverkey.p12  -out Documents/serverkey.pem

4 Copy the PEM file to the filemaker server machine (along with the two .crt  files I got from Godaddy)

5 import into filemaker using admin console. Error: private key does not match the Certificate.

I should add I didn't generate the certificate request from the Filemaker console.

Tried a few different ways of doing the same thing (eg exporting directly and not copying to the FMS server machine). The error has change to:

"Cannot Decrypt the private Key file with the password. make sure the key file and password are correct" So at least I may have made some progress.

SOLVED:

I have no idea why but tried the import without a password and it worked.
