Copy the contents of your private key file.
Locate the file containing your private key. Make sure the key file
corresponds with the certificate file you have received from a CA.
The public key in the certificate works in concert with the related
private key when handling SSL transactions.
Open the key file in a text editor and copy the entire contents.
Make sure the selected text includes the " -----BEGIN
RSA PRIVATE KEY----- " and " -----END RSA PRIVATE
KEY----- " lines.
Paste the contents of the key file at the command prompt.
Now, paste the private key at the command line interface
prompt. Press ENTER to create a new row, and then type " ... "
(without the quotation marks). Press ENTER again to complete
the installation of the key.
You may be prompted for a password phrase after having
completed the paste operation. The password phrase you are
requested to type is the one you specified when creating (or
exporting) the private key.
