Import private key

This function uploads a private key.

Note:

Due to the limited field length of HTTP GET method calls, you must use the HTTP POST method. For this reason, you cannot use a cPanel or Webmail session URL to call this function.

Important:

When you disable the Calendars and Contacts, Receive Mail, Web Disk, Webmail, and Web Server roles, the system disables this function.
