Answer 1

Thanks rvaneijk. It works for me.

To install the signed certificate (Which is obtained from your CA). Keep your pem and key file in same folder.

1. Create certificate in (der format) with extension .crt

sudo openssl x509 -outform der -in your_server_pem.pem -out /.crt

2. Create DER formatted key

sudo openssl rsa -in server.key -inform PEM -out /.key -outform DER
