Salesforce Single Sign On Using OpenSSO (Identity Provider Certificate)
Hi All,
I'm attempting to configure OpenSSO with Salesforce for single sign-on. The "Verification Certificate" generated by OpenSSO is in text format, which is just a long encrypted string. Apparently the "Identity Provider Certificate" requires this to be in X509 certificate format. Does anyone know how to convert this encrypted string to X509 certificate format?
Thanks for the suggestion. I found OpenSSO was generating an X509 certificate base 64 encoded. Salesforce is expecting a binary X509 certificate (though no documentation about this detail). The easiest way I found was to import the base 64 encoded certificate into a browser (I used IE) and export as binary.

Try saving that file as pem or pfx.

Great job, thanxs !!!
Import your OpenAM certificate to "certmgr.msc" in windows, then export it and load it to salesforce SSO config.
Or in our case ensure your "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" has exactly 5 hyphens on each side (no more, no less!)
