Issue/Introduction

Is there a job or command, besides the backup of the ACF2 databases, that will do certificate backups?
This is required if production signer/server certificates are deleted so they can be restored.

Resolution

If the certificate is a personal certificate with a private key the certificate can be EXPORTed in PKCS12DER or PKCS12B64 format.

If the certificate is a CERTAUTH certificate the certificate can be EXPORTed in CERTDER or CERTB64 format.

Details of the ACF2 EXPORT command can be found here: Export a Certificate from the ACF2 Database (EXPORT)
