About this task

Requirements:
  • Public key certificate file in PEM format must contain a single certificate.
  • The private key must not be locked with a private key [MIcrocode < 8.50.1.25]
  • PEM and DER file formats are supported. Notice that the extension might vary and not always represent the real format.
  • It can be a self signed certificate or a CA trusted. In both cases, the user should end up with a private key and a public key certificat

    If the private key has a password, use the following procedure:
    1. Copy the private key file into your OpenSSL directory (or you can specify the path in the command line).
    2. Run this command using OpenSSL: openssl rsa -in [private.key] -out [nopassword.key]
    3. Enter the passphrase and [nopassword.key] is now the unprotected private key.

      The output file:  [nopassword.key] should be unencrypted and can be used for uploading it in the page.
