Question/Problem Description
How to import a certificate into the OpenEdge certificate store?

How to use the certutil utility to import certificates into the OpenEdge certificate store?
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
OpenEdge automatically installs root certificates in the OpenEdge certificate store from RSA, Thawte, and Verisign. If an internal-use certificate authority (CA) or a public CA other than these three is used, the required root certificates must be installed manually.

Resolution
To import a certificate into the OpenEdge certificate store, use the certutil utility provided by OpenEdge, with the -import option:

1. Open a Proenv environment

2. For a certificate in the PEM format:
 
certutil -import <filename>

OR

certutil -format PEM -import <filename>

3. For a certificate in the DER format:
 
certutil -format DER -import <filename>
 
4. Optionally, add  the  -verbose or -brief option as the first option after "certutil" to display more or less information about the command execution. "-brief" is the default.

Note: If you want to install certificates on a client networking PC without using certutil, manually copy the certs folder after installing it on to the client's PC. But ensure OpenEdge versions to be same on both PC's.
