Certificates

[wiimike]

I am trying to create a csr with openssl, sign it with a 2008R2 CA, and have a crt file to use with apache. I can create a request, heck I can even sign it with the 2008CA, but the problem is I wind up with a .cer file instead of a .crt file.

Any idea how to remedy this? 3 hours of googling hasn't produced my answer =/

.cer and .crt are often the same... i.e. Base 64 encoded certificate. When you downloaded the certificate from the CA, did you choose binary or Base64?

Also, your apache server may require that the entire certificate chain be present in the .cer file. Check the documentation.
