Per Citrix Docs :
If you use the GUI to import a PKCS#12 certificate, and the password contains a dollar sign ($), back quote (`), or escape () character, the import might fail. If it does, the ERROR: Invalid password message appears. If you must use a special character in the password, be sure to prefix it with an escape character () unless all imports are performed by using the CLI.
Problem Cause
RSA Key created on the ADC with certain special characters.
