+
+<p>If you are using a PKCS8 certificate key file, Rancher will log the following line:</p>
+
+<pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4">
+ListenConfigController cli-config [listener] failed with : failed to read private key: asn1: structure error: tags don't match (2 vs {class:0 tag:16 length:13 isCompound:true})
+</pre>
+
+<p>To make this work, you will need to convert the key from PKCS8 to PKCS1 using the command below:</p>
+
+<pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4">
+openssl rsa -in key.pem -out convertedkey.pem
+</pre>
+
+<p>You can now use <code>convertedkey.pem</code> as certificate key file for Rancher.</p>
