Export Certificate fields

Protocol

The file import protocol. The options are TFTP, FTP, 
SCP, SFTP. The default is FTP.

Host

The host name or IP address of the file exchange 
server.

Format

The key and certificate format in which you want to 
export the key and certificate. Valid options are:

•

PEM

DER

NET

•

PKCS12 (also known as PFX)

The PEM and PKCS12 formats always combine the 
private key and certificate in the same file.

Nortel recommends using the PKCS12 format. Most 
web browsers accept importing a combined key and 
certificate file in the PKCS12 format.

The formats have different capabilities regarding 
private key encryption and the ability to save the key 
and certificate in separate files. For more information 
about the formats, see
