WebGUI Certificate w/ Pass Phrase = No WebGUI (pfSense 2.2.5)

RusFM

This happened to me recently and I had a tough time figuring out what it was.

I created a certificate for our pfSense with a pass phrase and loaded it into the Cert Manager then switched the WebGUI to use it.

Well, the WebGUI didn't work after that and it took me a while to figure it out and fix it.

Hope this helps someone.

Shouldn't this be in the capt obvious section? ;)

Probably but I've only installed few certs.
I'd never been prompted for a PEM pass before and didn't understand the ramifications.

Besides, posting the obvious may lead to fewer newbies bugging you about it.
