SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is security technology that encrypts information traveling from a website to web server, keeping it private and secure. SSL technology is used by millions of different websites that need to protect confidential information for their customers. But when making changes to a website or server, you may also need to change the format of the SSL certificate. For example, a windows server may use DER, PFX or P7B formats while an Apache server will use PEM, CRT or CER.

Instructions
    ◦    1 Open a web browser and visit a website like SSL Converter or Globe SSL (see Resources).
    ◦    2 Click the "Browse" button and locate the CER file you want to convert.
    ◦    3 Select the down arrow drop down menu next to "Type of Current Certificate" and choose CER as the file type.
    ◦    4 Click the drop down menu next to "Type to Convert to" and select DER file. Click "Convert Certificate."

    ◦    5 Save the newly converted file to the website folder.
