I believe Apache expects PEM encoded X509 certificates. Certificates can be all grouped into one file, or separated into individual files based on whether you use the CertificatePath or CertificateFile directives. Refer to the Apache manual pages for the details. The PKCS#7 encoded certificate can be converted into a X509 certificate as follows $ openssl pkcs7 -in mycert.p7b -inform DER -text -print_certs > mycert.pem $ openssl x509 -in adp.pem -text The first command does the actual conversion, while the second verifies the result of the first. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Wulf Kaiser [mailto:Wulf.Kaiser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 7:54 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Certificate Import into Apache 2.2.0 Dear All, I have a perhaps simple but nonetheless serious problem.
