Exporting the Signing Certificate

Last Updated : Apr 19, 2022 |

If the signing certificate is a root CA certificate, it will need to be exported in both PEM and DER formats for later import into various clients and servers in order to trust any identity certificate created by this CA. This does not export the private key, just the certificate.

To export the CA certificate in PEM format:

  1. Select Platform View > Settings > General > Certificates > CA Certificate > Download (PEM-Encoded).

  2. A popup will prompt to save the file which is named 'root-ca.pem'. Save the file to the local machine for later distribution.

To export the CA certificate in DER format:

  1. Select Platform View > Settings > General > Certificates > CA Certificate > Download (DER-Encoded).

  2. A popup will prompt to save the file which is named 'root-ca.crt'. Save the file to the local machine for later distribution.
