Pfx file wont import asks for a password

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: eventfulpublishing.co.uk

I ran this command: the powershell script in mdeamon lets encrypt folder

My web server is (include version): Mdeamon webmail only

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): windows 7

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: in house server mdeamon

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): nah using powershell

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): mdeamon session config

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): ACMESharp script

then when i try to import in the normal way with MMC it asks for a password for the private key??

Hi @ultimatenerd,

Welcome to the community forum!

Can you provide the output of C:\MDaemon\Logs\LetsEncrypt.log please?

You should also set an email address so that you can receive expiration emails and resolve the following message. https://letsencrypt.org/docs/expiration-emails/

Unable to send an error email. No To address was specified.

Which version of ACMESharp are you using?
