Converting from DER to PEM...

[adam beecher]

Hi there,

I have a Thawte cert I would like to use with Webmin, however I'm having
trouble figuring out how to convert it, or even if I have to convert it.

The CSR was created according to the instructions in the mod_ssl FAQ, and I
downloaded the cert in standard format (DER) from Thawte. Webmin however,
uses a PEM encoded cert, so I've been trying to change it according to the
OpenSSL docs:

[root@blah dir]# openssl x509 -inform DER -in blah.crt \
> -outform PEM -out blah.pem

But I'm getting the following error:

unable to load certificate
922:error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509:expecting an asn1
sequence:x_x509.c:98:address=13
4741160 offset=0

Am I just trying to do the impossible? Or just something really stupid?
Both?

KIS please, I'm a freakin' cypher newbie...

ta,
adam
