Procedure

Services (IIS) Manager.
The Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager appears.
2 To view the list of sites hosted by the server, expand the local computer entry and click Web Sites.
3 Right-click the Web site entry that contains the certificate you want to export and select Properties.
4 On the Directory Security tab, click Server Certificate.
5 When the Web Server Certificate wizard appears, click Next.
6 Select Export the current certificate to a .pfx file and click Next.
7 Specify a filename for the certificate file and click Next.
8 Type and confirm a password to be used to encrypt the information you want to export and click Next.
The system displays summary information about the certificate you are about export.
9 Verify the summary information and click Next > Finish.
10 If you want to use the certificate with a View Transfer Server instance, use openssl to export the private
key and server certificate in the required PEM format.
a Open a command prompt and use openssl to export the private key from your .p12 or .pfx certificate
file.
For example: openssl pkcs12 -in server.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem
b Remove the pass phrase from the private key and save it to the file server.key.
This step prevents Apache from prompting you for your pass phrase each time it is restarted.
For example: openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key
c Export the server certificate from your certificate file and save it to the file server.crt.
For example: openssl pkcs12 -in server.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out server.crt
What to do next
Configure your View Connection Server instance, security server, or View Transfer Server instance to use the
certificate. See “Configure a View Connection Server Instance or Security Server to Use a New Certificate,” on
page 85 or “Configure a View Transfer Server Instance to Use a New Certificate,” on page 86.
