Extracting a Certificate by Using the Certificate Import and Certificate Export Wizards

You can use the Windows Certificate Import and Certificate Export wizards to extract a certificate from the generated key pair that you downloaded from the OAuth Administration page.

To import the key pair and export the certificate, follow these steps:

1. Open the Certificate Import Wizard on your computer. You might be able to open it by double-clicking the key pair file. If not, follow these steps:
   1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then select Internet Options.
   2. Click the Content tab. Click Certificates.
   3. Click Import. The Certificate Import Wizard opens.
2. Enter or browse to the file path and click Next. When prompted, enter the password for the private key. This was specified while generating the key pair earlier.
3. Select the Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate check box.
4. Click Next.
5. Click Finish. A dialog box appears indicating that the key pair was imported into Internet Explorer successfully.
6. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then select Internet Options.
7. Click the Content tab, and then click Certificates.
8. Click the Personal tab, and then select the certificate that you just imported.
9. Click Export. The Certificate Export Wizard opens.
10. Click Next.
11. Select the No, do not export the private key check box.
12. Click Next.
13. Select the DER encoded binary X.509 (CER) check box.
14. Click Next.
15. Specify a file path, and then click Save.
16. Click Next.
17. To export the file to your local file system, click Finish. A dialog box appears indicating that the export was successful.

After completing all steps, you can associate the DER-encoded file with an OAuth client. For more information, see Associating a Certificate with an OAuth Client.
