RE: Certificate authentication through HTTPS

In cryptography, PKCS #12 defines an archive file format for storing many cryptography objects as a single file. It is commonly used to bundle a private key with its X.509 certificate or to bundle all the members of a chain of trust.[1]

If you double-click a .p12 file in Windows, windows will launch the Microsoft Digital Certificate Manager. From the DCM you can export all the .cer files in a chain of trust.

Brad,

Thank you for the explanation! I definitely needed that background for
better understanding.
Now... I found out some more information that may shed light on my
problem.

I tried sending my CSV send again and again failed with the handshake error.
I wanted to try creating an application through the DCM and do it that way.
Bruce (he's the Operations VP) sent me a "Goto meeting" and we went
through the screens together.

During the process, I asked about the final certificate, a .p12 file. He told me
that, while he was unable to load the .p12, he was able to "launch" the .p12
and turn it into a .cer!

This doesn't sound right to me. I suspect my problem is because we never
loaded the .p12 in its correct form.
Am I right, and if so, is there anything different he needs to do to load a .p12
certificate on the AS/400?

Thanks,
Charlie

PS. No, using the named application didn't work either. Handshake error.
