There is a bug in the MVS Toolkit (or at least we believe it's the Toolkit) where if you use an OpenSSL version higher than 1.1 to generate a .PKCS12 document, it appears to create just fine, but when you install that in the Toolkit, HTTPS does not work. Rocket is working on this problem, but so far we have not been able to identify what or where the problem is. Meanwhile, I suggest that you use OpenSSL v1.1 or lower to generate your keys, certificate requests and certificates.
 
While we're on the subject, I've worked some cases recently where people generated a private key that was not an RSA private key. It needs to be an RSA private key or the world won't like it.
 
If you have any questions about any of this, or if you want some help with certificate generation (or anything else with the Toolkit for that matter), please open a support ticket and I'll jump on it right away and give you a hand.
