# Troubleshoot SSL Certificate Errors

When you try to add a custom SSL certificate thumbprint to the RMT Server configuration, and select **Test Server Configuration**, you see the following error:

_Certificate doesn't include accessible private key._

This is because the Resource Monitoring Tool is unable to access the private key because the key is not plain text exportable. To resolve the issue, do the following:

1. Make sure you have the private key using the **Windows Certificate Manager**.
2. After receiving the certificate using certreq.exe, run the following command from the folder where the certificate is saved:
    
    `certreq -accept <name of certificate file>`

This should resolve the issue and allow you to add a custom SSL certificate thumbprint to use with your Resource Monitoring Tool.

## Who can do this

You need to be a Administrator on the machine and be a Resource Monitoring Tool Administrator in order to troubleshoot WMI query issues.
