Issue | When uploading your SSL private key through the Administration Console (My Account > Company Settings > Company Information), as described in the RSA SecurID Access documentation on how to Configure Company Settings and Certificates, the following error displays: |
Cause | The private key was encrypted by a password/passphrase when created. |
Resolution | The IDR requires that the private key be uploaded without password protection. You can create a temporary un-encrypted version of the protected private key using the openssl toolkit: # openssl rsa -in <private_encrypted>.key -out <private_unencrypted>.key After uploading the un-encrypted key via the Administration Console, it should then be deleted from your local system. |
Notes | You can check if a key has been password protected:Unprotected Caseopenssl rsa -text -noout -in <private_unencrypted>.key Note that you are not prompted for a pass phrase. Protected Caseopenssl rsa -text -noout -in <private_encrypted>.key Note that you are prompted for a passphrase. |
