Create a new virtual server, and setup for description some text with accents like we use often in France: é or è
Then try to activate SSL on that virtual server and it'll fail miserably as accents are wrongly encoded when passed at SSL te generate the keys :( and as it fails it refuses to activate SSL !

What error message are you getting exactly?
The issue may be that the
opensslcommand doesn't support certs with accented characters.Submitted by vincen on Fri, 05/05/2017 - 02:04 Pro Licensee Comment #2
I get an unicode error in Virtualmin when it tries to generate the SSL key ! I guess you should clean text field so they don't include incompatible characters to make it robust at exotic languages ;)

I'll have Virtualmin automatically strip out characters that can't be used in certs in future.
