Trouble renewing certificates without private key

Trouble renewing certificates without private key.

Product: LoadMaster

Version: Any

Platform: Any

Application: Any

• After acquiring new .PEM certificates for ones about to expire, and attempting to "Replace Certificate" on the LoadMaster results in “Invalid Format Key” error messages.
• Do not have the private key to import for the new certificate.

• The private key is needed when replacing an SSL certificate on the LoadMaster.

• When replacing a certificate, you would also need to specify the private key along with the certificate file itself. In the case of a certificate signing request (CSR) generation on the loadmaster, we ask that you save the private key once generated so it can be used later for future cert replacements.

• In the case of not having the old private key on hand, it is recommended to generate a new certificate signing request, and save the generated private key this time. Then, send the new generated unsigned certificate request to the Certificate Authority (CA) for it to be signed.
