VERIFY THE PRIVACY KEY

Once the Certificate has been imported into the certificate store, user must verify that a “key” symbol is visible on the Certificate icon.

If this is the first attempt at importing, it should have the key.
If you are re-importing it for some reason, you may need to generate the privacy key manually.

The SSL Setup Batch file will fail if a private key is not on the Certificate.

If a key is present, the user can skip to next section 5.2.3.
If a key is NOT present, the user must repair the privacy key – see below.
