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] ************************************************************************
