STEP 3: CONVERTING A CERTIFICATE TO PKCS #12 FORMAT
Before you can install a certificate on the LPS-20x, you need to convert it to PKCS #12 format. This can be done
with the openssl program pemtopkcs12. Execute the command:
pemtopkcs12 certificate
Replace certificate with the name of the certificate file.
Make sure that the .PEM and .KEY file are in the same folder and have the same name (with a different extension).
You will be prompted for two passwords:
• PEM pass phrase: Password used to protect the private key
• Export password: Password that will lock the PKCS#12 file. You will specify this password when you load
the certificate onto the LPS-20x.
For example:
pemtopkcs12 hotspot.adc.com
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Enter Export Password:
Verifying password - Enter Export Password:
This procedure will generate a file named .pcs12 file that contains both the private key and public key certificate.
This file can now be installed on the LPS-20x.
