Question

How to create a PKCS#7 (.p7b, .p7c) certificate for your Trading Partner

Answer

GIS only exports certificates as .DER or .CER (Base 64) formats.

The PKCS#7 format contains certificates in a signed data structure, and is also a X.509 certificate format.

A PKCS#7 certificate can be created from an exported .DER system certificate by following these steps:

       
  1. Install the exported .DER certificate in Windows by double-clicking on the file and choosing Install Certificate...
    2.    
  2. Click on the Details tab and choose Copy to File...
    3.    
  3. A Windows Certificate Export Wizard will come up. Click Next.
    4.    
  4. Select Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard - PKCS #7 Certificates (.P7B)
    5.    
  5. Check the box for Include all certificates in the certification path if possible.
    6.    
  6. Click Next.
    7.    
  7. Choose a filename and click next, and then finish.
    8.    
  8. After the cert has been exported, the extension can be changed to .p7c if necessary.
