iDRAC 6/CMC SSL Certificate Upload - What Format!?

 Does anyone have any idea what format I need to be using to provide a pre-existing wildcard (*.noc.sbc.edu) SSL certificate and key to my M1000e's CMC and iDRACs? Nothing I try works including zillions of conversions involving X509, Base 64 encoding, etc.

  Here's what I have:

- Wildcard, CA-supplied CERT in PEM format (being used on other servers in this sub-domain just fine)

- Intermediate CERT in PEM format

- Key file which I can provide in de-crypted format to eliminate need for password

 The CMC wants me to provide a certificate file and key file uploaded through the browser. Everything I try gives me a wonderfully helpful "Bad Type" or "Bad Format" with zero details. The documentation for the CMC and the iDRAC units is worthless in this regard simply saying it wants it X509 and Base-64 encoded which leaves, thanks to all the variations in SSL cert standards, a blue million possibilities. 

  I've been running them through openssl tons of ways creating different permutations without coming up with a format the system likes. I don't know if it's the format I'm choosing, a dislike of chained intermediates, or the alignment of the planets... but there is just so little detail and so many possible ways to do this wrong that I'm thoroughly frustrated. 

  Any help would be truly appreciated.
