Converting Certificate Files from Other Formats

Certificate files have the following formats:

DER.
Files with the .cer or .der extension.

PEM.
Files with the .pem extension.

PKCS12.
Files with the .pfx or .P12 extension.

When you append certificates to the ca-bundle.crt file, the certificate files must use the PEM format. Use the OpenSSL utility to convert certificates from one format to another. You can obtain OpenSSL at http://www.openssl.org.

For example, to convert the DER file named server.der to PEM format, use the following command:

openssl x509 -in server.der -inform DER -out server.pem -outform PEM

If you want to convert the PKCS12 file named server.pfx to PEM format, use the following command:

openssl pkcs12 -in server.pfx -out server.pem

To convert a private key named key.der from DER to PEM format, use the following command:

openssl rsa -in key.der -inform DER -outform PEM -out keyout.pem

After you convert certificate files to the PEM format, you can append them to the trust certificates file. Also, you can use PEM format private key files with PowerExchange for Web Services.
