      I have made a self signed cert using the webGUI cert page.
      Once I export the p12 from the webGUI and try and use them I am asked for a password. Any one know what password pfsense is using for this? I tried the obvious "pfsense" but it didnt work

      I keep having to download the key and crt to make my own pem file and then convert it to p12 to allow me to specify a password. Which is annoying as this is steps I dont need to take as there is already a p12 available to download.

      Thanks

      Edit pfsense 2.0.2

        I just exported mine and used Firefox to import it. When it came up with the password prompt I just hit enter for no password and it imported.

          Some places won't let you import without a password. In those cases, enter a space (" ") as the password and it usually will accept that.
