Export .p12 SSL Certificate from Windows

When managing mobile devices, install a trusted SSL certificate on the FileWave Server. The server SSL certificate is configured in FileWave Central > Preferences > Mobile. If you generated the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on a Windows-based system and completed the certificate generation process, Windows can export the SSL certificate and intermediate bundle as a .pfx file. That bundle should include the private key, public certificate, Root CA certificate, and intermediate certificate bundle. Rename the .pfx file to .p12, then upload it in FileWave Central > Preferences > Mobile without modifying the certificate contents.

Step-by-step guide

• Open a Run dialog and enter "mmc".
• Go to File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
