This guide explains how to obtain a type of SSL certificate .p12 2048 bits , useful in particular for SAP, Salesforce, etc. from the Infomaniak infrastructure.

Obtain a p.12 type certificate

A p.12 type certificate is a container that includes the certificate, intermediate CAs, and the key itself.

It is possible to create this type of certificate from what can be downloaded from the Infomaniak Manager:

1. Order a certificate for the domain sap.domain.xyz by providing a CSR (which means having the private key, named for example server.key)
2. Download the certificate generated in the Infomaniak Manager: sap.domain.xyz-15-03-2024.zip
3. Unzip the archive

4. Run this:

   openssl pkcs12 -export -out server.p12 -inkey server.key -in sap.domain.xyz.crt -certfile ca_bundle.crt

A file server.p12 will then be obtained.

If the certificate was generated without a CSR, it is the file .key present in the downloaded zip that will serve as the key.
