OpenSSL converts a .pem certificate file to a .p12 certificate file. The display recognizes this format.
Prerequisites: You are working in
Workbench running on a PC. You are connected to the station that manages the display device.
- Download the appropriate version of OpenSSL for Windows and install it.
Multiple sites provide pre-compiled executables. For example, you can download it from here:
https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.
More information about OpenSSL is available here: https://www.openssl.org/source/

- Follow the instructions to install OpenSSL.
- Open an OpenSSL command prompt and change your directory to the folder that contains the certificate you exported, for example:
cd\certs.
- To run the OpenSSL conversion from the command prompt, type this command and press Enter.
openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.p12 -in <your cert> -inkey <your cert>.pemThe output certificate name must be cert.p12.
OpenSSL prompts you to enter the pass phrase for the
Niagara 4.9 (or earlier) certificate you exported with the private key.
- Do one of the following:
- For
Niagara 4.9, enter the password you created when you exported the certificate with its private key.
- For
Niagara 4.10, press Enter.
OpenSSL prompts you to create and confirm its password. Both certificates with and without an export private key require this
.p12 password.
- Enter, verify and record this password in a safe place.
OpenSSL creates a new certificate with the .p12 extension and associated password.
- Confirm that the new certificate exists and move it to a secure location.
You do not want an unauthorized person to have access to this certificate.
The next step is to install the .p12 certificate in the display.
