I created a certificate for a user from the command prompt. I tried to import this certificate on windows NT  for Outlook express manually. The error message I got was that the certificate file format is not recognized.
 
I edited the certificate file in wordpad editor and removed the txt format section of the certificate file and renamed it from user.crt to user.cer  [ The editing was done by refering a certificate file on windows]
 
Now though my certificate file got recognized. But now when I I import the certificate in outlookexpress, the certicate is not shown in the list of certificates though a successfully installed message is shown.
 
Has anybody faced a similar problem while trying to import a certificate on windows. Can anybody throw some light on it.
Or is there a specific format in which a certificate created using OpenCA can be directly imported on windows.
 
Thanx,
Sasi
