Try .PFX to view it on your PC

I am fairly certain I didn't make it be 4096 because I have run into issues with that. I do believe I may have made it a 1024 key and evidently they don't allow those anymore as of sometime in 2010 (to answer Pete's question). So it sounds like the minimum is 2048 now.

What extension should I put on the file so I can open it? I tried .cer and it threw an error.

Is it one of those new fancy 4096 keys? There was a PTF out for this
for V5R4... Not sure for V7R1.

You should be able to see the size by clicking on it and viewing it on
your PC...

I am on a new V7R1 LPAR and setup the *SYSTEM SSL store about 1
month

ago.

I saved the CSR data during the *SYSTEM store setup.

Then today I went to get my first CA SSL certificate for this
machine and am getting this message when I paste my CSR into the SSL
providers

website:

"The CSR uses an unsupported key size!"

Does anybody know how I can tell what key size was used for the CSR?
I tried putting it in a .cer file but that didn't work.

As a last resort, does anybody know how to do a full reset of the
*SYSTEM SSL store so I can go through the setup again?
