"Empty Password" error: Neo4j Desktop SSL

"Empty Password" means that I did not supply a password for the certificate.
I set a password in the config file. Find the config file like so:

1, Click the ellipses on the top right corner of Graph
image
2. click manage
3. click the settings tab
4. you can also find the config file for the db in its installation path.

Within the config file--

  1. ctrl f "Bolt SSL configuration"
  2. add the line "dbms.ssl.policy.bolt.private_key_password="

Clearly, I don't know much about TLS/SSL.
Reading this free book helped me out: Library: OpenSSL Cookbook 3ed | Feisty Duck

Puttygen can generate a private key but it cannot create a certificate or sign it.
OpenSSL can do everything you could need to do with SSL.
