Chapter 18 Using the SSL Protocol : File Names for Certificates and Keys

File Names for Certificates and Keys
For all parameters that specify the identity (digital certificate), private key, issuer (certificate chain), or trusted list of certificate authorities, valid files must be specified. Not all types of files are supported for clients and servers. The description of each parameter details which formats it supports.
Table 74 lists the valid types of files.

The sample certificates include:

    client_root.cert.pem
    client_root.key.pem
    client_root.key.p8
