email), copy the portion that begins with 

     BEGIN CERTIFICATE     

 to the portion that 

ends with 

     END CERTIFICATE     

 and paste it into Note Pad or a similar text editor.

Save the file as 

Certificate.CER

Note 

 If you have used a different method for obtaining a certificate you may not need to save the 

file. For example, if you have used a Certificate Server, the .CER file may have been downloaded 

to a specified location. If you have received a .CER file, you can proceed to the next line.
