Issue with SSL cert causing Server to refuse connections.

[unholyrattrap 2]

I am running Emby 3.0.5912.0 on Server 2012 R2. I used II7 to put in a CSR, which i then exported to https://my.gogetssl.com to provide me a SSL. When Running 3.0.5781.5 the following steps worked and would like to know if there is something I am doing wrong, or if there is an issues I am experiencing.  

 

1. Put in a CSR using IIS
2. Submit the CSR https://my.gogetssl.com, and get a *.crt back
3. Import the *.crt into the servers local cert store
4. Export the *.pfx
5. Rename the cert to the <selfsignedname>.pfx 
6. restart the server
7. Here is there it breaks in 3.0.5912.0

When i access the server over HTTPS, the server refuses connections and drops all HTTPS traffic. Looking through the server logs I see the following:

When I delete the cert, the self signed is regened and the HTTPS connections work again to load HTTPS with the self signed. I would like to get the HTTPS working with the cert I have purchased is the end goal. 

 

Note: If i browse and point at the .pfx from within the emby server browser the same is issue is repeated.
