Cannot Import Valid SSL Certificate with Private Key
0%
Description
I have a wildcard SSL certificate from a vendor using my own private key. This wildcard SSL certificate was successfully imported into pfSense 2.3.4_1 and worked well.
This certificate and private key are successfully being used in Apache webserver.
Upon fresh wiping the disk and installing 2.4.0-RC and attempting to setup this wildcard certificate in Cert Manager I am now getting the error:
"The submitted private key does not match the submitted certificate data."
I have redownloaded the certificate from my vendor and added copies of my private key from other storage sources but I continue to get the same error.

- Status changed from New to Rejected
- Target version deleted (
2.4.0)
That message means the public key on the certificate does not match the public key stored with the private key. Post on the forum/mailing list/reddit for help diagnosing the problem. You'll want to run some openssl commands on those files to dump the info and compare for yourself.
