Formatting a security certificate

If your Parlay gateway provider specifies RSA encryption and provides a public key in the form of a security certificate, you might need to reformat a security certificate to configure this value.

Before you begin
The encryption certificate is provided in an ASCII file in this format.

About this task
Complete these steps to convert the certificate to a single-line string.
  1. Open the file with a text editor.
  2. Ensure that word wrap is not enabled.
  3. Add the new line character (\n) to the end of each line.
  4. Add the \n to the end of the file. This is an example of the reformatted certificate. This is not an actual certificate.
