Don't Edit Certificates and Key Files

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

You must never edit the contents of a certificate or keyfile. If you change anything within a certificate, any SSL software examining the certificate to authenticate your identity will detect it has been tampered with and declare it invalid.

A keyfile, and in certain circumstances a certificate file, will always be protected by its own security pass phrase. This pass phrase prevents certificate and key file management tools from making unauthorized access to the file content.
