I get that some people have difficulties understanding certificates and how to work with them. In that case, I would strongly recommend to work with your Aruba Partner, Aruba Support or someone who has experience with certificates and the concepts like private keys, certificate chains, etc.
BTW, a .crt file is the same as a .pem file. You can just rename the file to the desired extension. Still you need to understand what you do as well you need a private key that matches the certificate either in the ClearPass server if you generated the CSR there, or in another pem file, or in the same PKCS#12 .p12 file.

Hello, thanks for the response
his certificate is for an HTTPS web for guest user .
One of the two guest portals on his campus is located in the clear pass.
For this reason, I informed him that his would require a certificate
He asks for a certifate Crt format .
when he tries to put on the clears pass he gets a mistake.
I informed him that he would have to make a certificate.
pem, but the error remains the same.
I apologize if this post is not sufficiently clear; I occasionally have trouble understanding the certificates.

In what format do you have your private key, certificate, and intermedate certificates available? How did you generate or request the certificate?
.p12 / PKCS#12 is a different binary file format, which includes the certificate and private key and is password protected.
.pem is a text file which can have just the certificate, just a private key, other certificates (like the intermediate), or a combination.
Depending on how you requested the certificate and which components you have, another approach may be needed.

Hi,
You simply need to import a .p12 cert file.
It is a file that contains the private key as well.
If you are using the same cert for all radius/eap, https(rsa), radsec, database, then u can export one of them (choose export with password), then u will get the .p12 file.
Import this .p12 file and choose the server cert type u want to replace, and re-enter the same password from previous step.
Do not miss the private key password and it is recommended to put 16 characters of strong password criteria to it.
Hope this helps.
