RSA keypair export failed

When you encounter the “RSA keypair export failed” error when generating an SSL certificate, it’s because of a configuration issue with the OpenSSL library on your webserver. OpenSSL is a library that is commonly used to interact with TLS and SSL. An error in this library can cause issues such as the RSA keypair export failure.

Really Simple Security does not manage the OpenSSL library on your webserver. OpenSSL is managed by your hosting provider.

We therefore recommend contacting your hosting provider about this; as they can help you update OpenSSL on your webserver. This is usually sufficient to resolve the ‘RSA keypair export failed’ error.
