Citrix Secure Gateway kicks certificate back as unusable during configuration

Setting up Secure Gateway to allow remote access for a customer.  Installed Secure Gateway and going through the configuration, I get to where it asks you to pick the certificate to use.  

I created a self-signed certificate, just to test with, and it returned that the certificate was "unusable."  I figured it must have to do with the fact that it is self-signed, so I went to a certificate company online.  They have a 21 day free trial for certs and I was told from another admin that their test certs work fine with the Gateway, so it would give me the opportunity to make sure I got everything right before I spend the money on the certificate.  

I got the test certificate, installed that company's certs in root (it was listed as a necessary step for the test cert to work) and then installed the test cert.  Running the Gateway configuration again, it shows up just fine in the list of options, I choose it, and again, I end up with "the server certificate specified is unusable."  

Not sure what I am missing here, any ideas?

Sorry, forgot to mention I have already tried that.  Also, in that instance, it configured fine the first time, but changes later were giving this error.  I am unable to get it to work the first time at all.
Going to the test cert and looking at it, there only lists a Public key when you look at the Version 1 fields.  Does this need to have a private key as well?  If so, how do I change that...
