Configuring the Type of Encoding Your CA Supports

By default, encoding is set to binary. Encoding specifies the file format used for the local-certificate and local-key-pair statements. By default, the binary (distinguished encoding rules) format is enabled. Privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) is an ASCII base 64 encoded format. Check with your CA to determine which file formats it supports.

To configure the file format that your CA supports, include the encoding statement and specify a binary or PEM format at the [edit security certificates certification-authority ca-profile-name] hierarchy level:

[edit security certificates certification-authority ca-profile-name]
encoding (binary | pem);
