Generate a 2048 bit .p12 certificate

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

Obtain a type certificate p.12

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

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

• order a certificate for the domain sap.domain.xyz by providing a CSR (which means having the private key with you, named e.g. server.key)
• download the certificate generated in the Manager Infomaniak: sap.domain.xyz-15-03-2024.zip
• uncompress the archive

• execute

  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 CSR it is the file .key present in the downloaded zip that will serve as a key.
