Auto-created webConfiguration default certificate

[mtk]

Hey,
I've installed the ACME package and created a Certificate with it. I want to use it as the webConfigurator's SSL Certificate and it does appear in the list.
Every time I select it and save, a new webConfiguration default certificate is being created and selected.

When I set any of the webConfiguration default certificate I now have in the list, it does maintain the setting.

How can I prevent this from happening?

You do NOT have any ACME certificate there. You cannot use "private key only" as certificate. IOW, you created no certificate at all with the ACME package.

pfSense is the certificate created by the ACME Package

Geez, read the screenshot you posted!

Well, it is how ACME created the certificate.

But even if you are right, why isn't there a proper error message and why is a new certificate being automatically generated?

No, this is NOT how the ACME package creates certificates. You either forgot to use the Issue/Renew button there, or something failed. You cannot use a private key alone for webgui.

OK, I understand, I will go over the process again and report back.

My question regarding the alert/notification/error still stands.

What alert/notification/error?

What alert/notification/error?

If I'm trying to set that "private key" which I shouldn't be able, I would expect an error/alert message.
not only I don't get that a new default webConfigurator certificate is being generated and assigned to be used - why?
