Hi Team,

Do you have a screenshot of the certificate error?

What was the key algorithm used?

Use RSA.

Rate if Useful :)

Description

Symptoms: When importing a certificate into Cisco Secure ACS, multiple attempts
with the wrong password for the private key will result in a misleading error
message.

The first error message will correctly display
"Private key file password is incorrect"

Subsequent attempts will display
"Unsupported private key file format."


Workarounds: Insure you are using the correct password when importing the private
key.
