      Hi all,

      From OpenSSL 1.0 change log:

      Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't include an implicit MD5 dependency. [Steve Henson]

      However, the pfSense 1.2.3 needs the private key file in the previous, traditional format.

      Solution:

      openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key

      That`s it.
