I am very clueless when it comes to certificates/security and the like so please excuse my ignorance.
I purchased a certificate and it was sent to me. I generated the CSR using the java keytool. I managed to use OpenSSL to extract the private key from the keystore.
I am using a mail server called SmarterMail, and I wish to use the certificate for SMTP TLS.
Smartermail requires me to point to the certificates location, but it needs to know the private key (I assume)
I tried merging the crt and the private key into a .pfx file, but smartermail does not recognize that format.
So what I am asking is, is there a way I can merge the crt and the private key. install it. export it from windows certificate export wizard with "export private key" and have it as Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) That is the format SmarterMail wants.
Thank you so much.
