• Keeping the certificate or certificate chain in a text file—the wizard can import
a certificate or certificate chain from a text file in text as well as binary formats;
see “Data Formats for Installing Certificates and Certificate Chains” on
page 472. If you have copied the certificate or certificate chain to a text file, you
will be required to provide the wizard with the absolute path to that file. The
file must be located in the host system the wizard is running. If the file is
located elsewhere, exit from the wizard, copy the file to the local disk, and
restart the wizard.
• Copying the certificate or certificate chain to the text area on the wizard
screen—you can paste the certificate or certificate chain into the text area
provided by the wizard. This is a text input field, so you can paste the
certificate or certificate chain in text format only. For example, if you are
installing a certificate, it base-64 encoded certificate blob should look similar to
this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
• The certificate is at the CMS where your request was sent— if you have
previously sent the certificate request to a remote Certificate Manager
automatically and have noted the request ID that you received in return, you
can use it to retrieve the certificate from the Certificate Manager.
