    Extreme Networks devices support PEM-formatted certificates. To import certificates in PFX or DER formats, you must first use the conversion tool to reformat them as PEM files. See Step 6 or Step 7, depending on the file format.

  7. To import a PFX-formatted file, which contains a certificate and private key combined, first convert it:
    1. Select Convert the certificate format from PFX to PEM.
    2. Enter the password that was used to encrypt the PFX file.
    3. Select Save.

    Note

    When you use the PEM-formatted file that contains both the certificate and private key, you must choose the same file for both the Certificate and Private Key fields.
  8. To import a pair of DER-formatted files, one containing a certificate and the other its accompanying private key, first convert their format from DER to PEM:
    1. Select Convert the certificate format from DER to PEM.
    2. If converting a key, enter the password that was used to encrypt the file.
    1. Select Save.
  9. Select Save.
