Dear list. I'm almost there. The problem I hit at full speed is I can't
import private key for my otrs email address into S/MIME section of Admin
area. Every time I try to add a private key (PEM formatted file) I get the
following error:

[image: Info] : Need Certificate of Private Key first -Error reading
password from BIOError getting passwords)!

The certificate corresponding to the key is imported already. The key I'm
trying to import has no password. If it needs a password, what encryption I
should use?

Please share you experience.
Anton.
