There is something not clear. The help text says:
«After you have exported these certificates and keys, you can use the

I suppose these are the import commands. But what is "container"?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be careful with the following commands, they REPLACE contents in the
target
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer public certs FROM directory TO container
Transfer private keys FROM directory TO container
Transfer CA certs FROM directory TO container
Transfer public certs FROM container TO directory
Transfer private keys FROM container TO directory
Transfer CA certs FROM container TO directory
Hello Carlos,
those commands allow you to move certificates between places. A
container is a file that contains lots of certificates. Like a folder is
to email. In a container you will find certificates one after the other.
The most common method today is to have a one-file-per-certificate, so it
can be easily managed (deleted or replaced, for example). Take a look at
the commands under this section
-----------------------------
Manage your own certificates
-----------------------------
Manage Public Certificates
Manage Private Keys
Manage Certificate Authorities
So I just copied:
[email protected] -> ~/.alpine-smime/private/
[email protected] -> ~/.alpine-smime/public/
certificate-ca.crt -> ~/.alpine-smime/ca/ (is this name correc?)
copy [email protected] to ~/.alpine-smime/ca/ also.
Do you mind sharing "ls -lR ~/.alpine-smime" with me if this does not
work?
Another thing to check. Here is some of the content of my keys:
private/[email protected]:
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIFHDBOBgkqhkiG................
............ lots of lines .....
....j8jdgft+RnzyFXw==
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
public/[email protected]:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEBzCCAu+gAwIBAg...............
............... lots of lines....
....b+WcluD75bqpF1qI9ph2GZLqUiZKK
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
ca/[email protected]: same as public/[email protected].
I hope this helps.
