IMPORTANT:
There is a line at the top of all certificates that includes 5 dashes, the words BEGIN
CERTIFICATE, and 5 more dashes. The line looks like the following: -----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE----- . If any one of those dashes is missing, the certificate import
operation will fail. Likewise, at the end of the certificate, there is a line that includes
5 dashes, the words END CERTIFICATE, and 5 more dashes. The line looks like
the following: -----END CERTIFICATE----- . These same issues pertain to
the private key as well.
