How To Export SSL Certificate from Linux to Windows IIS
How To: Export SSL Certificate from Linux to Windows IIS
I just had to figure this out by myself because the title of this thread returned no relevant results in Google. This
is the quick and dirty. Hope you can follow along.
Step 1: pem file
You will need to log into your linux box and create a .pem file that contains your private key and your certificate
hash. Your private key is usually in a .key file and your certificate is usually in a .crt file. Just paste the
content of your key and certificate files into the same file (in that order, separated by a line break) and save it as
"whatever.pem".
Step 2: p12 file
The p12 file is what IIS wants. To create it, use the following command in linux:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in whatever.pem -out whatever.p12 -name "Whatever Certificate"
You'll be asked to provide a password for the file. Remember it for the next step. After you've done this, transfer
whatever.p12 to your windows server (FTP, anyone?).
Step 3: Import the p12 file in IIS
Go to the properties of your website in IIS, then into the Directory Security tab. Click on "Server Certificate" and
select the "Import" option. When it asks you to find the file, make sure to change the scope to "All files" to find
the p12. When you select the file, you'll be asked to enter the password you selected in step 2. Et voila!
Successfully transferred SSL Certificate from Linux to Windows.
Don't forget to install a valid CA Root Certificate while you're at it. You can actually find a tutorial for that
online though.

Problem with comunicating between HUB and Edge servers using cisco firewall
ESMTP TLS Configuration
Note: If you use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for e-mail communication then the ESMTP inspection feature (enabled by default) in the PIX drops the packets. In order to allow the e-mails with TLS enabled, disable the ESMTP inspection feature as this output shows.
pix(config)#policy-map global_policy
pix(config-pmap)#class inspection_default
pix(config-pmap-c)#no inspect esmtp
pix(config-pmap-c)#exit
pix(config-pmap)#exit
