Install ssl certificate and key without key secret

Posted by nocplanet on Thu, 01/24/2019

Hi,
I have a new installation and I like to install a ssl certificate but the key I have didn't have a secret or password as is not encrypted.
When we try to upload it with the option Certificate and Private Key in separate files if we don't set a Decription Key It give me this error:

Server returned error code = -1
Invalid certificate or private key:Option key_secret requires an argument .
invalid certificate or private key!

Is there a way to install manualy the Key & certificate to avoid this ?

TIA!

Which trusted authority you get your key and certificate from? You can also try "Certificate Chain" option. However it requires root and intermediate certificates.
