Description

The following error is logged on startup if a PKCS#1 format private key is used in the REST-API:

2025-03-18 16:02:41   error  : Failed to load REST API TLS private key: ASN1 parser: Error in DER parsing.

In MaxScale 21.06, the error is slightly different:

2025-03-18 17:06:33   error  : REST API HTTP daemon error: GnuTLS failed to setup x509 certificate/key: ASN1 parser: Error in DER parsing.

This is because GnuTLS seems to refuse to load PKCS#1 private keys.
