"Not supported" error when importing from PKCS12 file

Nitrokeys
1

Hi!
I’m trying to import a private key and certificate contained in a PKCS12 file where the certificate chain contains 3 certificates (the leaf certificate and 2 sub CAs). I get the “Not supported” error (using the pkcs15-init tool).
Is there any limitation on the number of certificates in the certificate chain? Otherwise aby idea where the “unsupported” error can come from?
Thanks!

If you are using a Nitrokey HSM, then you need to use the Smart Card Shell to import existing keys and certificates.

Plain key import via the pkcs15-init tool is not supported. The Nitrokey HSM supports only encrypted key import for security reasons.
