Hi,

I'm trying to work with getting a CA cert installed. 

I downloaded it using IE, and ended up with a .CER file, but in Windows,
when I click on the .CER file, I get an error box "Invalid Public Key
Security Object File"/"This is an invalid Security Certificate".

I tried to display the contents of the .CER file using openssl, but got
a "NO START LINE" error, so I dumped the raw file, and it appears to be
DER (actually, it looks like several certificates appended to each
other)?  So I tried to use openssl X509 to convert it to PEM using
something like:

openssl X509 -in myca.cer -inform DER -out myca.pem -outform PEM

but I'm getting errors:

E:\OpenSSL>openssl x509 -in myca.cer -inform DER -out myca.pem -outform
PEM
unable to load certificate

I'm running openssl 0.9.7d from:

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

I was hoping that I could use openssl to try to diagnose things.

Thanks,
Jim
