[relaxatraja]

I have a .cer file with me, now I want to convert that .cer to .p12. Anybody explain the process to convert that from windows xp. Thanks to all.

You need OpenSSL and a fondness for typing on the command line. The process is explained on two pages, starting at "Generate a certificate signing request on Windows":

Thanks I looked into that two days before, any other way? (or) can you guide me step by step to install those things on my system?

The command line approch works well. I dont know any other way to do it.

Install openSSL

(Win 32 ) http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_0d.exe

(Win 64 ) http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL_Light-1_0_0d.exe

Open a command line (Start : Exec : cmd) and follow Adobe isntructions from the link provided in the last answer...

You should have your p12 in a few minutes good luck!

Hi Rangora,

Installed OpenSSL, but it require the visual c++ 2008 distributable component, google it and installed that too. After following the process from the adobe I only get two files in the bin directory as:

mykey.key

CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest

Where did I find the .p12 file? should again follow to the apple site to get .p12?

Hi boat,

That is not more relevant to my issue, anyway I already looked into that while developing packager for iphone

The last section is about the conversion to p12.

Hi,

I found the same from some other link, but still while proceeding have a error mentioned as:

"No certificate matches private key"

Doubt:

openssl req -config c:\openssl\bin\openssl.cfg -new -key mykey.key -out CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest  -subj "/emailAddress=youremail@domain.com, CN=Your Name, C=SE"

The above command require emailaddress, CN and C, what that specifically mean and whether it searches for the same within my profile or I can give anything over there?

Because I have only the file and I dont have more input from my organization.

Lee made a video on the process here

I forget, but I think it was the video titled:

Developing iOS Applications on Windows

EDIT:

or perhaps its this one

Relaxtraja are you on a Mac or have access to one, if so this is about 100% easier. Let me know and Ill find a tutorial for you, its simple once you get used to it. Even if you plan to develop on PC you can do this p12 part on a Mac and then switch to PC for the rest of the app until its time to release it, that requires access to Application Loader.
