This document aims to offer guidance on generating a GYTPOL-supported certificate in PEM formatguide provides instructions for implementing secure browsing to GYTPOL portal using an enterprise-signed and trusted certificate that has already been created and exported along with its private key. By following this guide, you will ensure secure, encrypted communication between your users and GYTPOL portal, enhancing the overall security posture of your organization.

Prerequisites

Exported Certificate in PFX format: The certificate file (e.g., yourpfxfile.pfx) containing the public key, private key, and intermediate certificates.

PFX Certificate Password: Ensure you have the password required for creating the PEM files from the exported certificate.
