You receive the .zip file with SSL certificates: domain certificate, the Root and the Intermediate certificates. Now you need to combine them into one.pem file - use text file to do this:

1. Open all .crt files in a text editor.
2. Open a new empty text editor document.
3. Copy the contents of each .crt file (with lines BEGIN and END CERTIFICATE) to new .txt document in this order:
   domain certificate
   intermediate certificate 2
   intermediate certificate 1
   root certificate
4. Save it as "yourdomain.pem".

Now you need to combine file yourdomain.pem with the private key (my_key.pem), that you generated along with the CSR. Final file save asfinal.pem

Use OpenSSL commands:

openssl>pkcs12 −export −in yourdomain.pem −inkey mykey.pem −out yourdomain.p12 −clcerts

openssl>pkcs12 −in yourdomain.p12 −out final−cert.pem −passin pass:check123 −passout

Note:

• In this command, you must enter a password for the parameters −passin and −passout.
• The password that is configured for the −passout parameter must match the certpassword parameter that is configured on the WLC.
• In this example, the password that is configured for both the −passin and −passout parameters is check123.
• "final.pem" is the file that we need to upload to the Wireless LAN Controller. The next step is to upload this file to the WLC as a Vendor device certificate.
