Drag Export a Key Pair
To drag export a Key Pair:
- Ensure the Key Pair entry is Unlocked.
- Select the Key Pair entry for dragging by pressing
and holding the left mouse button over it in the KeyStore entries
table.
- Use the mouse to drag the entry to the desired export location. For example:
the desktop, a folder or a text editor.
- Release the left mouse button over the export location.
- The entry will be exported. The export format used depends on the
export location:
- When exporting as a file the export format is PKCS #12.
This is applicable when the entry is dragged to the desktop or
to a folder.
- When exporting as text the export is in two parts. The private key is
exported as Encrypted PKCS #8 PEM and the certificate chain is
exported as PKCS #7 PEM. This is applicable when the entry is
dragged to an application that deals with text.
- Exports that are password protected inherit the password of the originating
Key Pair entry.
