When generating a new request for a certificate on ACS under "System
Configuration > ACS Certificate Setup ", what is the correct file extension
that we should use to define the private key file ?

I've seen .pvk, .pem, and .key being used before.

Cisco states, and I quote:

Generating a Certificate Signing Request *Step 4 *In the Private key file
box, type the full directory path and name of the file in which the private
key is saved, for example, c:\privateKeyFile*.pem*.

and just further below that, they say:
Self-Signed Certificate Configuration Options
*Private key file*—The full path and filename for the private key file you
want to generate. For example, "c:\acs_server_cert\acs_server_cert*.pvk*".
When you submit this page, Cisco Secure ACS creates the private key file
using the location and filename you specify.


Does the file extension all depend on whether you are generating a
self-signed certificate or a certificate signing request ?
