How to extract the private key of SSL Certificate using API call.

Resolution

This API call will export the private key:

https://<controller-ip>/api/sslkeyandcertificate/sslkeyandcertificate-f578fc3c-f059-4743-9b77-65d5421a2ba9?export_key=True

Note: First get the SSL Cert UUID from CLI.

Login to Controller shell and execute this command:
