Certificate Management Utility
If your Open Client application uses HTTPS (SSL), you must provide digital certificates with the application. Progress ships a small set of Root Digital Certificates with the Open Client Toolkit.
Most likely, there will be times when you need to manage digital certificates. For example:
The certificate files included with the Open Client Toolkit are stored in .
zip
and.jar
files called Certificate Store files. For more information about digital certificates and the .zip
and.jar
files, see Configuration and Deployment."Each Certificate Store file holds a number of individual Root Digital Certificates and contains one digital certificate list (.
dcl
file) that lists all the certificate files stored in the file. The individual certificates come in one of the following formats:
- DER — These file types have extensions of .
cer
and .crt
. There is no difference between.cer
and.crt
files. One file stores one binary certificate.- PEM —These file types have extensions of
.pem
,.txt
and.0
. There is no difference between.pem
,.txt
and.0
files. One file stores one or more certificates.To help you manage digital certificates, Progress provides the Certificate Management Tool (
procertm)
. Theprocertm
toolruns on Windows platforms only and lets you import, export, and remove certificates to and from
.jar
and.zip
files. You can also use this tool to convert digital certificates file formats.. The following sections provide information about:
