Usage The Privacy-Enhanced Mail protocol (PEM) format is used for representing a PKCS #7 certificate in ASCII text. PEM uses base64 encoding to convert the certificate to ASCII text, then puts the encoded text between the following delimiters:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

To use this command, you must already have obtained a copy of the certificate authority’s certificate as a PKCS #7 object file. Then do the following:

1Open the PKCS #7 object file with an ASCII text editor such as Notepad or vi.

2Enter the crypto ca-certificatecommand on the CLI command line.

3When WSS Software prompts you for the PEM-formatted certificate, paste the PKCS #7 object file onto the command line.

Examples The following command adds the certificate authority’s certificate to WSS certificate and key storage:

WSS# crypto ca-certificate admin Enter PEM-encoded certificate

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
