126 -=== My certificate is in .pem format, but my programm only accepts .p12 format. What should I do? ===
127 -
128 -The certificate you have downloaded from the Self-Service Portal (ssp.rbg.tum.de) is in .pem format and some client programs do not support it. This problem is easily solved. All you have to do is find a program that accepts .pem files. Firefox is one of them, and since it is widespread, we'll assume that Firefox is being used for this guide.

137 -1) Make sure your old expired certificate is installed in Firefox. If it is not already installed there, you will have to export the old certificate from another application and import it in Firefox. How to export a certificate can be found in our [[Wiki-Anleitung>>https://xwiki.rbg.tum.de/bin/view/Informatik/Helpdesk/ZertifikatExportieren#Firefox]].
