Email Security: Convert a .cer format SSL Certificate to .pem for TLS
Resolution
Convert a .cer Format Certificate to .pem Format for TLS on Email Security
If you have a .cer file from your certificate authority, there is a way to convert that to a .pem certificate. (TLS on email security requires the certificate to be in .pem format.)
Steps to accomplish this are as follows:
· Get the ‘openssl’ tool and extract the files in a folder i.e. on c:openssl ( it extracts the openssl.exe file under the following path c:opensslbin)
· Copy the .cer certificate at the same location (i.e C:opensslbinSWsslcert.cer)
· Open command prompt and run the command.
· C:>c:opensslbinopenssl x509 -in SWsslcert.cer -out c:opensslSWsslnew.pem
A .pem file will be created in c:openssl
upload the .pem file in the ‘configure StartTLS’ page from WebUI.
