key stored. If the private and public keys do not match, a warning message is displayed (“Warning: The
Private Key does not match with the Public Key in the certificate.”). This warning is a reminder to the
user to download the private key also.
The certificate and private key file should be in PEM format and generated using RSA as the
cryptography algorithm.
