This I feel really stupid asking but here it is. I have set up a 2003
certificate Auth for the simple task of generating certificates for a
security device. The device generates the Begin and End certificate request.
I have the CA read this and it generates a certificate. The deal I am
having is the device...an Iron Mail device wants me to paste the information
provided from your CA into a window. I figure it wants a similar style as
the text generated to create the cert. How the heck do I get that
information from the certificate? If it were windows, just install
certificate but this is a web based Free BSD type system. Anyway, hopefully
this will be easy. Thanks!!

When you get the certificate, export the certificate in a base 64 format
You can then open in Notebad, and get what you want to copy and paste

You must find in the docs for your device how it want to see a
certificate. For example, all Cisco equipment uses "hex strings", i.e.
binary (der) certificate written in hex numbers.

Another way to get certificate in printable characters is base64.

So you need to know exactly what format to use...
