Where to get OpenSSL and pscp for windows

OpenSSL for Windows (either msi or binaries)

Common OpenSSL commands

Keep in mind that .pem and .cer are both the same format - and you may just be able to rename a .pem file to a .cer and vice-versa. If that doesn't give you the desired result, use this command:

openssl x509 -inform der -in certificate.cer -outform pem -out certificate.pem

openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der

openssl x509 -in cert.crt -out cert.pem
