After conducting some checks on your company, the CA signs your request, encrypts it with a private key,
and sends you a validated certificate.
What to do next
If you downloaded a certificate in PKCS#7 format, import it into your keystore file. See “Import a Signed
Certificate into a Keystore File,” on page 79.
If you downloaded a certificate in PKCS#12 format, convert it to PKCS#7 format.
Convert a PKCS#12 Certificate to PKCS#7 Format
If you obtained a certificate in PKCS#12 format, you must convert it to PKCS#7 format before importing it into
your keystore file.
Procedure
1 Right-click the certificate (.cer) file and select Open With > Crypto Shell Extensions.
2 On the Details tab, click Copy to File.
The Certificate Export wizard appears.
3 Specify PKCS#7 format, include all certificates in the certification path, and then click Next.
4 Specify a filename and click Next.
5 Click Finish to export the file in PKCS#7 format.
NOTE Certificate files that are converted to PKCS#7 format have a .p7b extension.
What to do next
Import the PKCS#7 format certificate into your keystore file.
Import a Signed Certificate into a Keystore File
If you obtained a signed certificate from a CA, or if you exported an existing Microsoft IIS SSL server certificate,
