Hello,

I'm Èric Antonell from technical area of CATCert, and we have the same problem. I I have tried to import p12 and failed for unknown reasons. My operating system is Windows VISTA SP2 32 bits. My attached is the p12 file that I try to import. The password is '1234'. Is a coding problem? In principle, it's encoded in TeletexString format. We must use UTF8 coding for the certificates? This error can occur for the fields accents? I need technical assistance, please, because most of p12 files that are generating can't be imported successfully.


Thanks and Best Regards,
