l
Use the Format drop-down list to select the format in which the certificate should be exported. The following
formats are supported:
PKCS#7 Certificates (.p7b)—Exports the certificate, and optionally the other certificates forming the trust
l
chain for the certificate, as a PKCS#7 container.
Base-64 Encoded (.pem)—Exports the certificate as a base-64 encoded text file. This is also known as "PEM
l
format". You may optionally include the other certificates forming the trust chain for the certificate.
Binary Certificate (.crt)—Exports the certificate as a binary file. This is also known as "DER format".
l
Open SSL Text Format—Exports the certificate as a full openssl text-format output, allowing you to view
l
advanced details such as X509v3 extensions. It also includes the certificate in .pem format appended to the
.txt file.
PKCS#12 Certificate & Key (.p12)—Exports the certificate and its associated private key, and optionally
l
any other certificates required to establish the trust chain for the certificate, as a PKCS#12 container. This
option is only available if the private key for the certificate is available to the server. If you select the
PKCS#12 format, you must enter a passphrase to protect the private key stored in the file.
NOTE: To protect against brute-force password attacks and ensure the security of the private key, you should use a strong
passphrase – one consisting of several words, mixed upper- and lower-case letters, and punctuation or other symbol characters.
Click the Export Certificate button to download the certificate file in the selected format.
Revoke certificate – Displays the Revoke Certificate form.
