**Notice:**
The OpenSSL default format for encrypted private keys is PKCS-8. Minio only supports PKCS-1 encrypted private keys.
An encrypted private PKCS-8 formated RSA key can be converted to an encrypted private PKCS-1 formated RSA key by:
```sh
openssl rsa -in private-pkcs8-key.key -aes256 -passout pass:PASSWORD -out private.key
```
