RE: How to use the certpair files?

["Matt Cooper" <mcooper@orionsec.com>]

Hi Anurag,

 

The cp files are encoded certificate pairs.  These can be placed in a directory and consumed by ldap using PKI applications that understand the crossCertificatePair attribute.  If you would like to simply break them apart, you can use the attached app I hacked together to see / save the certificates.

 

Best Regards,

Subject: How to use the certpair files?

Hi, 

I am learning how to work with cross-certificates. Could 
anyone please tell me how to parse the .cp files? Which software to use to parse 
the files and how to extract the certificates from the file? Any help would be 
highly appreciated. 

Thank 
you,
