Certificate authentication issues

[samlambert]

I'm finding the information in relation to setting up certificate authentication hard to follow. In the following link: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Releases/How-to-Use-Third-Party-Certificates-With-Anaplan/ba-p/4911... there is information that says:

"When you obtain your certificate from Sectigo, you can either submit the certificate request and get a private key from the CA or you can submit your request with a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)."

I've obtained my certificate from Sectigo, but I don't know what this step means?

Hi again Sam!

What extension is the certificate from Sectigo?

[samlambert]

It depends which browser. I can open in IE or FF and then export the certificate to whatever format

[anirudh]

Great, can you export it to .p12 and follow these instructions

Install OpenSSL

then

and

The output will be a .pem file and .key file
Upload the .pem into Tenant admin and use both the files in Python to generate auth tokens

[samlambert]

I can't export the cert to a .p12 format in FF or IE though. It's giving me a few options but not this one.

[anirudh]

What options can you see

[samlambert]

In FF:

PKCS#7 with chain

PKCS#7

DER

PEM with chain

PEM

In IE:

.CER

.P7B

[anirudh]

Perfect!
Extract .CER from IE and follow these instructions
