Notes and Warnings

• ZIP Format:

  • Certificate is exported as a ZIP archive
  • Contains one .cer file per environment

• File Naming:

  • Files are named: {certificateName}-{environmentName}.cer
  • Example: my-certificate-production.cer

• Certificate Format:

  • Certificates are in binary DER format (.cer)
  • Can be converted to PEM format if needed

• Multiple Environments:

  • ZIP contains certificates for all environments
  • Each environment has its own file

Restoring what you exported

The ZIP entries are named <certificateName>-<environmentName>.cer, and Import Certificate File reads that naming back — so a multi-environment certificate can be exported and restored with each environment's own material intact.

Permissions
