| Summary | 0001534: A proposal: submitting CSRs as files P10 | ||||
| Description | Utilites as Kleopatra produce CSRs n the P10 Binary format, other as the P10 Base64 format. The CAcert main web should accept such files and use a simple contents test with a simple conversion Binary --> Base64. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | To submit a file is impossible in present. If the file has Base64 format, you are able to copy and paste its CONTENT only. | ||||
| Additional Information | Most questions to Support are just about the impossibility of browsers to make a CSR. Make a CSR is complicated for a common user. Let's simplify that. | ||||

We'll probably need a button to upload the file, since currently the CSR is entered by Copy/Paste which does not work for binary files. If someone can look up the OpenSSL command line to do the conversation, please add it as a note here. |

|
The following openSSL command will do that. I have tested it. openssl req –in <your .p10 file> -inform der –out <a new file name> and the new file name can have any extension (e.g. .csr) |
