P7B file

Create P7B archive file (no private key!)

Plugin type Store
Download Built-in
Compatibility All platforms

Description

Exports a P7B archive file including the certificate and the chain, and places it in a folder of your choice. By default the file name will be the common name of the certificate (i.e. the primary host name), but this may be overruled.

This output format does not include a private key. It should only be used in combination with a Custom CSR or if you have another store method from where you access the private key.

Settings

Store.P7bFile.DefaultPath When using the P7bFile plugin this path is used by default, saving you the effort of providing it manually. Filling this out makes the ‑‑p7bfilepath parameter unnecessary in most cases. Renewals created with the default path will automatically change to any future default value, meaning this is also a good practice for maintainability.

Paths should be JSON-encoded, e.g. "C:\\" (note the double backslash).

Type: string
Default: undefined
