opnsense 23.7.12_5

when into system -> settings -> admin   
just wanted to enable password protection on console menu  but when I hit save I get the error

"the following input errors were detected
    Certificate XXXX is not intended for server use "

and my change did not save. 

now, my browser says the cert is valid.  I did create it with my own internal CA

what does "not intended for server use " even mean?  note this is for opnsense not for  openvpn
and why does it work but I can't save any changes on this page?

I would like to solve this before tring to upgrade to 24.x

thanks,
GF

when you hit Save button GUI cert key usage extension is checked

Thanks for the link! this is not something I have a lot of familiarity with.  I managed to get letencrypt working with the acme plugin which seems a much better solution in the first place.

Thanks again,

GF
