Client Certificate Configuration

A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and private key can both
be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file format used by these files could be PEM,
DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields
for each possible case.

Single file contains both the client certificate and
the private key. Format is: PEM or DER.

Single file contains both the client certificate and
the private key. Format is: PKCS12
First file contains the client certificate, second file
contains the private key. Format is: PKCS12
AMX supports the following security certificates

PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)

DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)

PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)
PKCS12 files are frequently generated by Microsoft certificate applications.
Otherwise, PEM is more common.
Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one correspondence.
The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:
