This is very good advice !

When using the RA screen it seems like the only way that an authorised person 
can get the PKCS#12 is by copying and pasting the binary data into an editor 
and then saving the file. Is this correct ? or is there an easy way to get 
the certificate and key pair out of the data base as a file ?
