Uploaded SSL certificates need to be in PKCS#12 format.
If you are uploading a created private key and the SSL certificate to the management client, you need to convert the SSL certificate to PKCS#12 format. If you are not uploading the SSL certificate, conversion is not required.
- You must store a private key and SSL certificate in the same folder.
- In the following procedure:
- The private key file name is “client.key”.
- The SSL certificate file name is “client.crt”.
- The SSL certificate in PKCS#12 format is output to c:\key.
- If you update SSL certificates in a batch, conversion is not required.
- Open a command prompt with administrator permissions.
- Enter the following command: C:key>c:\openssl\bin\openssl pkcs12 -export -in client.crt –inkey client.key -out client.p12
- Enter a password, which is used when uploading the SSL certificate in PKCS#12 format. You can use up to 128 alphanumeric characters and the following symbols: ! # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
- The client.p12 file is created in the C:\key folder. This client.p12 file is the SSL certificate in PKCS#12 format.
- Close the command prompt.
