User's Manual

Use the Format drop-down list to select the format in which the certificate should be exported. The
following formats are supported:
l PKCS#7 Certificates (.p7b)—Exports the certificate, and optionally the other certificates forming the
trust chain for the certificate, as a PKCS#7 container.
l Base-64 Encoded (.pem)—Exports the certificate as a base-64 encoded text file. This is also known as
“PEM format”. You may optionally include the other certificates forming the trust chain for the
certificate.
l Binary Certificate (.crt)—Exports the certificate as a binary file. This is also known as “DER format”.
l Open SSL Text Format—Exports the certificate as a full openssl text-format output, allowing you to
view advanced details such as X509v3 extensions. It also includes the certificate in .pem format
appended to the .txt file.
l PKCS#12 Certificate & Key (.p12)—Exports the certificate and its associated private key, and
optionally any other certificates required to establish the trust chain for the certificate, as a PKCS#12
container. This option is only available if the private key for the certificate is available to the server. If you
select the PKCS#12 format, you must enter a passphrase to protect the private key stored in the file.
To protect against brute-force password attacks and ensure the security of the private key, you should use a strong
passphrase – one consisting of several words, mixed upper- and lower-case letters, and punctuation or other symbol
characters.
Click the Export Certificate button to download the certificate file in the selected format.
l Revoke certificate—Displays the Revoke Certificate form.
