Paducah Home Theater Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I swear, I'm about to pull my eyeballs out over code signing certificates. .PEM, .PVK, .CER, .KEY, .CSR, .SPC, .PFX... OpenSSL, PVK conversion tools, Windows Driver Kit, my goodness. All I need is a stupid PFX file. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and could help?

The History Kid Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 What are you trying to secure exactly, and how much security are you hoping to provide it? I'm using an EV SSL Cert right now that encrypts at 256 bits. But that's only because the site I'm running it on literally collects just about every form of information possible if the user opts to provide it.

Paducah Home Theater Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Making a code signing cert, basically GoDaddy gives you files that can't directly be used. May have just got it though. They blocked the browsers from exporting certificates in the way you used to be able to. Supposedly there is a "pvk2pfx" tool in the Windows Driver Kit and Visual Studio 2010 but I can't get it to work. Just found an old PVK importer from Office 2000 and it worked ok. Been staring at this for 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 If you're plugging it into a client, I don't know how to do that. If you are plugging it in with a dedicated IP on a server though, most clients will accept the entire .zip folder with the .crt and the pvk2pfx file in it and correctly array them in the cache. I'm using cPanel when I do this and it also generates the corresponding keys and algorithm. Kinda like this: https://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-apache-cpanel.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
