WSE Certificates, as in HOL



WSE Certificates, as in HOL SQLAgentman

dotnet web services enhancements: Hello,

How can I get similar Certificates, like the ones in the HOL ( Please
see list below).
But I like to get sample Certificates from a CA, because I was getting
some chaining/verification/resolution issues.
( to eliminate WSE405 I had to kill "Verify Trust" ) so I am hoping
that Certificates from a CA can resolve issues.

What should I ask for?

Can someone please tell me what's in each of following certificates.
Private Key?, Public Key? etc... need some details.


Client Private.pfx
Server Private.pfx
Server Public.cer

Thank you for all your help

Hi SQLAgentman,

Files with .pfx extension contain public and private key. The private key is
password protected.
Files with .cer extension contain only the public key.
Search for a previous post in this group for detailed information.

Martin,

So .cer contain only the public key. Okay very good.

Then Martin, what is the difference between the following two
Certificates.
Client Private.pfx
Server Private.pfx

Is it possible that they are the same but named differently, for
location identification.

Is there a way or utility that can tell you what's in a Certificate
If I give you a file with no Extension how can you find out what's in
it.

Thanks for all your help.
Have a happy and safe new year

Hi SQLAgentman,

Client Private.pfx contain public and private key for the client, whereas
Server Client.pfx contain the server public and private key. Naming them
this way has nothing to do with location identification.
Search for .pfx and .cer specification. It should be an easy task to
recognize both formats.

Happy New Year,
