Private Key Export in Certificate Management

Centrally manage the certificates you use to secure communications across your network.
You can centrally manage the certificates you use to secure communication across your network.
You can now export the private key from Strata Cloud Manager for a self-signed certificate. However, the export of private keys for an externally signed certificate is restricted. The supported export formats are as follows:
  • Base64 Encoded Certificate (PEM)—This is the default format. It's the most common and has the broadest support on the internet. Export Private Key if you want the exported file to include the private key.
  • Encrypted Private Key and Certificate (PKCS12)—This format is more secure than PEM but isn't as common or as broadly supported. The exported file will automatically include the private key.
  • Binary Encoded Certificate (DER)—More operating system types support this format than the others. You can't export the private key in this format.
