Hello,

I get that I can create a signed cert. for the Edge, but I'm confused as to how I can import it.

Here is the procedure I have been following:

I log into vCNS -> my data center -> Network Virtualization -> Edges, then double click my edge device -> configure -> certificates -> actions -> generate CSR

I then copy the contents from the PEM Encoding text box.

I log into my CA server (MS CA Services)

I click Request a Certificate -> click Submit a certificate request by using a base-64-encoded CMC or PKCS#10 file, or submit a renewal....

I paste the contents of the CSR and submit.

The CA admin approves the request.

In the CA server I can then download a filename.cer file.

At this point I do back into vCNS -> edge certificate screen, when I click the actions -> import certificate, its expecting my to submit the contents of a signed certificate. Which I can't do because the filename.cer file is encrypted. Am I doing something wrong in regards to generating the CSR, the type of certificate I'm getting signed...or am I way off base with the entire signed certificate process?
