Use this procedure if you want to generate a public certificate and unencrypted key by hand instead of generating one from within Secure FTP Server - FIPS.
Use this procedure if you want to generate a public certificate and encrypted key by hand instead of generating one from within Secure FTP Server - FIPS.
Use this procedure if you want to generate a compatible PFX/P12 file containing a public certificate and key.
Use this procedure when a you already have a public certificate and PEM encoded PKCS#8 format encrypted private key file. You can determine the format by viewing the private key file in a text editor. If it contains the following line, then this procedure most likely applies:
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
Use this procedure when a you already have a public certificate and traditional PEM encoded encrypted private key file. You can determine the format by viewing the private key file in a text editor. If it contains the following line, then this procedure most likely applies:
-----BEGIN
RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
Use this procedure when you want to convert an existing incompatible PKCS#12 format encrypted private key/public certificate file to a compatible PKCS#12 format file.
