Citrix ADC - Error: "Invalid private key, or PEM pass phrase required for this private key" on FIPS device
Article ID: CTX322728
Updated On:
Description
When trying to export a PFX file from a certificate that has already been uploaded to the ADC, we get the error "Invalid private key, or PEM pass phrase required for this private key", even after making sure the correct certificate and private key is selected, as well as entering the correct certificate password.
Resolution
If a PFX file needs to be created to be uploaded to XenMobile/Citrix Endpoint management, it needs to be created beforehand, it cannot be exported from the FIPS ADC.
Problem Cause
This is an expected behavior as when a certificate is uploaded to a FIPS appliance, it automatically encrypts the certificate and private key, making it impossible to export a PFX file.Additional Information
