Title: Re: Converting PEM file to PKCS12 or PFX for the MacOS (Not Mac OSx)...

thanks karl-micheal for the valuable info.  after tedious research into the matter your findings is absolutely correct! i indeed had to use netscape, but i didn't download 7, instead i stuck with 4.80 because their java implementation royally sucks, and it's cumbersome too.  it's so huge (netscape 7) i just decided to stick with version 4, unless you know something about netscape 7 that i don't, and if it's way better than 6.x, then i'll upgrade those macs to 7.  your imput is greatly appreciated.   sincerely, wally winzer jr. ----- Original Message ----- From: Karl-Michael Werzowa To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 01:10 Subject: Re: Converting PEM file to PKCS12 or PFX for the MacOS (Not MacOSx)... Hello, Wally, as I don�t use Pre-X Mac OSes anymore, only something general: The formats are portable, there should be no problem. You may encounter another problem: Available clients on Mac, using openSSL client certs. Microsoft DOES NOT support client certs on MacOS, not even under X . (neither with IE nor Entourage nor Outlook) Easiest way is to use Netscape 7, the use of certs is really solved in a �cross platform way�, like on any Linux or other commonly used PC platform. Opera supports certs, they say. OmniWeb does somehow, but it�s a hack. Not even documented, just stumbled about it. Best regards, Michael --- I CCed you directly, as your posting is quite old  and I just stumbled about the �Mac OS� in your subject. (If you would have put Mac OS  more to the beginning of your posting, you may have had more reaction from Mac-people .  �The others� mostly don�t feel so well with �Mac-Aliens�, besides with Ellen Feiss ;-) Am 2002-10-25 16:26 Uhr schrieb "Auteria Wally Winzer Jr." unter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: has anyone converted pem files into pkcs12, pfx, or der format explicitly for the MacOS versions 8.5 and above? i have 3 macs that needs CA's loaded.  if anyone has done this by all means give me the lowdown. i really appreciate everyone's efforts in solving this major issue, one being the CEO! thanks! wally winzer jr. -- ************************************************************************ Karl-Michael Werzowa A-1190 Wien, Paradisgasse 28/4/6 +43 (664)302 4511,  fax +43 (1)328 1992 14 [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************
