File types
File type
Description
*.crt
File that contains the certificate.
*.p12
*.pfx
The formats *.p12 and *.pfx are used to save the certificate along with the private key. The private key is
stored with the corresponding certificate and is password protected.
The CA creates a certificate file (PKCS12) for both ends of a VPN connection with the file extension ".p12".
This certificate file contains the public and private key of the local station, the signed certificate of the CA
and the public key of the CA.
*.pem
Certificate and/or key as Base64-coded ASCII text.
*.key
Unprotected Base64-coded private key
Additional functions
In addition, in conjunction with certificates the following functions are also available:
●
Exporting used certificates.
●
Importing certificates.
●
Renewal of expired certificates.
●
Replacing existing certificate authorities.
Note
Current date and current time of day on the devices
When using secure communication (for example HTTPS, VPN...), make sure that the
devices involved have the current time of day and the current date. Otherwise the certificates
used will not be evaluated as invalid and the secure communication will not work.
