1. Convert private key, certificate and godaddy certificate bundle into .PEM file
2. Concatenate .PEM files of private key, certificate, godaddy certificates into one single .PEM file
3. Convert final .PEM file into .pfx file
REQUIREMENTS:
When creating PFX, the middle/intermediate layer CA cert must be included. If the PFX does not contain the direct issuer’s CA, issues may be seen from portable OS.
The openssl command line is:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out output.pfx -inkey private.key -in star-splashtop.com.crt -certfile int.cer
Openssl will prompt IT to input password to protect output PFX file.
Output.pfx: the output file name.
Private.key: the private key for certificate.
Star-splashtop.com.crt: the signature for our site, provided by 3rd CA
Int.cer: 3rd CA’s certificate
