Hi Wulf,
              The way I did this task is as follows:

1. Open the p7b file in windows xp machine (windows 2000 will also work).

2. Once you open you will see all the certs in the chain.

3. Export each certificate in base 64 format

4. Now you can concatenate the certificates in one file and name it as
something.pem

5. Next you have to copy this certificate to sun and give the path in
ssl.conf file of apache here is the snippet of section

#   Server Certificate Chain:
#   Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the
#   concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the
#   certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively
#   the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile
#   when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server
#   certificate for convinience.
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/allchain3.cer

Hope it helps.

Subject: Certificate Import into Apache 2.2.0

Dear All,

I have a perhaps simple but nonetheless serious problem. I have build,
installed and configured an Apache 2.2.0 under Solaris 9, and i have a valid
certificate file in .p7b format from the DFN CA.

But: How can i import this into Apache?

T.i.A, yours
