I believe Apache expects PEM encoded X509 certificates. Certificates can be all 
grouped into one file, or separated into individual files based on whether you 
use the CertificatePath or CertificateFile directives. Refer to the Apache 
manual pages for the details.

The PKCS#7 encoded certificate can be converted into a X509 certificate as 
follows

$ openssl pkcs7 -in mycert.p7b -inform DER -text -print_certs > mycert.pem 
$ openssl x509 -in adp.pem -text

The first command does the actual conversion, while the second verifies the 
result of the first.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Certificate Import into Apache 2.2.0

Dear All,

I have a perhaps simple but nonetheless serious problem. I have build, 
installed and configured an Apache 2.2.0 under Solaris 9, and i have a valid 
certificate file in .p7b format from the DFN CA.

But: How can i import this into Apache?

T.i.A, yours
