[Bug 55673] httpd fails to start with SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile with openssl 1.0 cert

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55673

--- Comment #1 from Rainer Jung <ra...@kippdata.de> ---
The OpenSSL API used to read the file unfortunately does not support PKCS8
private keys. This could be seen as a bug, because OpenSSL supports it in many
other places it reads PEM encoded keys. For a way to convert the keys see PR
63935. I will add the limitation to the Apache docs and close the other report
once that's done. I guess we won't fix this due to the root cause being in
OpenSSL and also due to the fact, that it is pretty simple to convert the key,
once the necessity gets documented.

Thanks for reporting this,
Rainer
