Notes

  • To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.

  • A PKCS #7 file typically has a .p7b file name extension, but this is not always the case. As with any other data file, the creator of the file has control over the name and whether or not the .p7b extension is used.

  • For procedures to import and export a PKCS #7 file, see Related Topics.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
