SSL Converter

Convert your SSL certificate to different formats
If your CA has sent you the certificate file in a format that your server doesn't accept, you'll need to convert the certificate file's format . You can easily do this on your own system by running a few OpenSSL commands . Down below, we have compiled OpenSSL commands that you'll need based on your certificate format and server type.

OpenSSL commands to convert PEM file

• Convert PEM to DER

openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der
