3 From the Linux command prompt, type cat certificate.pem privatekey.pem
> webserver.pem, then convert the file from UNIX linefeed to DOS carriage
return/linefeed by typing unix2dos webserver.pem.
To export the CA certificate:
1 Within the Windows operating system, to open the Certificate Authority
management tool, click Start - All Programs - Administrative Tools -
Certificate Authority.
2 You may view properties of the certificate authority by right clicking on the
authority in the tree view and selecting Properties. The CA Properties
dialog box will open.
3 Click the General tab and the View Certificate button to open the
Certificate dialog box.
4 Click the Details tab then the Copy To File button. The Certificate Export
Wizard will open.
5 Click Next to begin using the wizard.
6 On the Export File Format screen select the Base-64 encoded X.509
(.CER) radio button and press the Next button.
7 On the File To Export screen enter or browse to a filename and path for the
exported certificate. Press the Next button.
8 Press the Finish button.
The resulting certificate file is properly formatted and readable by OpenSSL.
In general, it will be necessary to upload the CA certificate only once; however,
it will have to be uploaded again if the certificate is revoked, if it expires, or if
“Restore Factory Defaults” is selected from the serial console menu.
NOTE: The instructions above are written for a Microsoft Root CA certificate.
For other CAs, please check with the CA vendor.
NOTE: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) must be enabled for LDAPS to
function.
