Import Custom SSL Certificate in Zyxel GS1920-8HPv2

I have a problem with importing a server ssl cert for

https web connection on myZyxel GS1920-8HPv2.

On the WebGui of the Switch, there is an information, that the cert and key

has to be in a pkcs12 container.

I did the following things to create the server crt:

generate a private key:

openssl genrsa \
    -aes256 \
    -out private/zyxel-server.key.pem 4096

generate a csr:

openssl req \
       -config openssl.cnf \
       -key private/zyxel-server.key.pem\
       -new -sha512 \
       -out csr/zyxel-server.csr.pem

create the signed cert from my ca:

openssl ca -config openssl.cnf \
           -extensions server_cert_zyxel \
           -days 1095 -notext -batch -md sha512 \
           -passin file:mypass.enc \
           -in csr/zyxel-server.csr.pem \
           -out certs/zyxel-server.pem

Then i built the pcks12 container:

openssl pkcs12 \
       -export \
       -out cert.pfx \
       -inkey private/zyxel-server.key.pem \
       -in certs/zyxel-server.pem \
       -certfile certs/ca.cert.pem \

i also tested "certfile" option with fullchain (ca + intermediate):

openssl pkcs12 \
       -export \
       -out cert.pfx \
       -inkey private/zyxel-server.key.pem \
       -in certs/zyxel-server.pem \
       -certfile certs/ca-fullchain.cert.pem \

But when i try to import the pkcs12 container, the switch is running in a timeout without any log messages.

is the procedure correct that I did when creating the pkcs12 container and has someone an idea how to import the server cert on this zyxel switch?

In the meantime i found a solution to fix the problem:

if i create the pkcs12 container with openssl 3.0.2 (ubuntu 22.04) and import the container to my iphone and zyxel switch it doesn't work.

if i create the pkcs12 container with openssl 1.1.1.f (ubuntu 20.04) it works.

If i create a pkcs12 container with openssl 3.0.2 and try to read (openssl pkcs12 info ...) the container with openssl1.1.1, i get the following error message:

Enter Import Password:
MAC: sha1, Iteration 2048
MAC length: 20, salt length: 8
PKCS7 Encrypted data: pbeWithSHA1And40BitRC2-CBC, Iteration 2048
Error outputting keys and certificates

Seems that openssl 3.0 use another algorithm to build the container and applications which use openssl 1.X.X can't open and process these files.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
