Loading a PKCS#12 Format Certificate

You can also load certificates in PKCS#12 format (usually stored in .p12 files) to OpenRG's certificate store. You must first obtain the '.p12' file, containing the private and public keys and optional CA certificates.

1. Click the 'Certificates' icon in the 'Advanced' screen of the Web-based Management. The Certificates screen will appear (see figure 11.42).

4. Use the Browse button to browse to the '.p12' file. If the private key is encrypted using a password, type it in the password entry (otherwise leave the entry empty) and press "Load" to load the certificate. The certificate management screen will appear, displaying the certificate name and issuer (see figure 11.44). If the '.p12' file contained any CA certificates, they will be displayed in the CA store (click the 'CA's' tab to view the CA certificates).
