I tried this as you laid out. Didn't work. Haven't loaded it into our ACF2

For Geotrust and Equifax we did save as and did ASCII Ftp. Tried both ways.
On Mainframe
the 1st and last rec looks like this. -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE----- When I do Digicert it is just garbage whether I do
Binary or Ascii FTP. Any clue what I might be doing wrong. Site cmd looks
like this for ftp

There are various formats that you can save a certificate in. You want a
Base64-encoded X.509 format, often with extension .CER (I mention all those
terms in case one of them rings an inkling). If wherever you're exporting it
from offers options, try 'em all, until you see the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE
stuff.
As Phil states, there are indeed several formats for certificate files,
and I get them confused myself. In any case, the file mentioned in the
Flash is NOT the format containing human readable text -BEGIN
CERTIFICATE-. Regardless, the format of the file is usable, as directed
in the Flash.
By the way, I don't know when you read the Flash, but it was updated
yesterday based on the feedback from this group and others about the
trouble saving the file to your workstation using your browser. If
you're still having trouble, you might want to check it out again:
