SSL Key import screen shows the password field as mandatory but it is not; this applies to password protected keys also.
This makes it appear that you must enter a password when importing an SSL key.
When you are trying to import SSL key(Password protected key OR unprotected key) through GUI.
Password field can be left blank even though it is shown as mandatory field.
Password field is only be visible in the GUI if Security Type is set to Password. By default, Security Type is set to Normal. And it is optional all the time.
