You need to regenerate your /etc/webmin/miniserv.pem with openssl,
though I don't remember the specifics offhand. You might try copying the
original in /usr/libexec/webmin/ also. Easiest way would be to edit
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and change to ssl=0 then restart webmin to
take it out of ssl mode so you can log in via straight http and do the
certificate generation through webmin itself.
