Hello,

Maybe related bug : on an oVirt 4, I followed the same procedure below 
to install a custom CA, with *SUCCESS*.

Today, I had to reinstall one of the hosts, and it is failing with :
"CA certificate and CA private key do not match" :

Which certificate did we (Kenneth and I) did we mis-used?
What did we do wrong?

Regards,

Nicolas ECARNOT
