Hello,

I trying to import a new certificate in server 2012 and says password incorrect, but the passworsd is correct. I have no problems importing this certificate on server 2019.

I have seen in some forums that the problem is that 2012 does not support the encryption that some new certificates have, is correct ?

How can i solve my problem?

Thanks.

    Finally i got it using OpenSSL:

    You have to export .key and .cer from your certificate.

    An them you have to create a new pfx with this command:

    openssl pkcs12 -export -certpbe PBE-SHA1-3DES -keypbe PBE-SHA1-3DES -nomac -inkey exported.key -in exported.crt -out New.pfx

    Hi Ran,

    Seems like a known issue the fix is suppose to export the key from the working server with exportable keys and import on the Windows 2012 Server.

    Solution: Import the .pfx into a newer version of Windows (Like Windows 10 or 2016) . This is important. While you import process, mark the certificate as exportable. This allows you to export the certificate afterwards with the older Triple-DES-SHA1 algorithm or/and with no password to protect the key.
