17.2.8 Exporting CA Objects as a File
If you have set up a repository on the computer for administering CAs, you can use this
option to create the CA objects directly as a file at the correct location. Different output
formats are available, such as PEM, DER, and PKCS12. In the case of PEM, it is also
possible to choose whether a certificate should be exported with or without key and
whether the key should be encrypted. In the case of PKCS12, it is also possible to export
the certification path.
Export a file in the same way for certificates, CAs as with LDAP, described in Sec-
tion 17.2.7, “Exporting CA Objects to LDAP” (page 210), except you should select
Export as File instead of Export to LDAP. This then takes you to a dialog for selecting
the required output format and entering the password and filename. The certificate is
stored at the required location after clicking OK.
For CRLs click Export, select Export to file, choose the export format (PEM or DER)
and enter the path. Proceed with OK to save it to the respective location.
TIP
You can select any storage location in the file system. This option can also be
used to save CA objects on a transport medium, such as a USB stick. The
/media
directory generally holds any type of drive except the hard drive of
your system.
17.2.9 Importing Common Server
Certificates
If you have exported a server certificate with YaST to your media on an isolated CA
management computer, you can import this certificate on a server as a common server
certificate. Do this during installation or at a later point with YaST.
NOTE
You need one of the PKCS12 formats to import your certificate successfully.
