Problems when adding third party certificate in DCE

Hi

I am adding an authorized certificate and it gives me an error message

"It is not possible to install certificate because the private key does not correspond to the associated certificate"

I also have the private key and I have added certificates of this same type in DCO without problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Iván González Borraz,

Starting with DCE version 7.5.0 there is protections against importing a certificate where the private key does not match the one currently on the server.  To import a certificate into the DCE server a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) should be generated from DCE, which can then be signed by your CA (Certificate Authority).  I am not aware of any way of importing a private key into DCE, so I believe that a CSR must be used.

Instructions on generating a CSR can be found here:

Oppss... This is a big problem for companies that have certificates of Wildcard type.
