IMPORTANT:
There is a line at the top of all certificates that includes 5 dashes, the words BEGIN
CERTIFICATE, and 5 more dashes. The line looks like the following:
-----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE-----
. If any one of those dashes is missing, the certificate import
operation will fail. Likewise, at the end of the certificate, there is a line that includes
5 dashes, the words END CERTIFICATE, and 5 more dashes. The line looks like the
following:
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
. These same issues pertain to the
private key as well.
