Failed to import new SSH certificate on ESXi 6.5 free

Im trying to install a certificate into ESXi using the web browser but the key I'm pasting isn't working.  I'm not sure if it's an issue with the ESXi host or with the key.  The error message I'm receiving is:

Install Server Certificate 

Key 

haTask--vim.host.CertificateManager.installServerCertificate-138780645

Description 

Installs a server certificate for the host

 

State 

  Failed  - Cannot change the host configuration. 

Errors

--------------------------

And that's it

*The purpose of me installing this cert is so that I can use SSH auth via PowerCLI. 

Please help!
