We have a group who needs to install\import a Root Certificate chain into the IBM WebSphere. &nbsp;I sent them a .p7b file containing the Root Certificate as well as the Issuing CA certificate.<br />
They are saying that:<br />
<br />
I have tried to load the certificate (attached) that was provided for the xxxx domain. <br />
Websphere does not like the format I have tried renaming to a .cer but it does like that file either.<br />
This is the error that I get and that error points to the format of the cert.<br />
Unable to initialize, java.io.IOException: Short read of DER length<br />
<br />
Would someone be able to tell me what type of certificate format is used to import certificates into websphere ? <br />
And how to convert a .p7b file into other formats, eg. DER ? or PEM ?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Mona

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
