Please define "doesn't work" - how doesn't it work?

Also, most servers take the key and cert files - so can you let us know which server you are trying to make work?

Have fun

Hello,

I'm new the SSL certificates and I'm having trouble converting a PEM
certificate into a PKCS12 certificate.

Here is the process I took to get my third party certificate:

Did this on a linux box that has openssl installed:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -out proxy.csr -keyout
proxy.key -subj
"/C=CA/ST=ND/L=NONE/O=Company/OU=Main/CN=proxy.compay.com"

This created the key and the csr for the server we want to use it on.

Then I went online and purchased an SSL certificate using that csr.

So now I have a KEY file and a PEM file.

I ran this to create a PKCS#12 certificate file:

openssl -pkcs12 -in proxy.pem -inkey proxy.key -export -out proxy.p12

This created the .p12 file and everything looks good.

The problem is that it doesn't work on anything, not in the server or
in any browser.

What step am I missing?

Dan.
