Moved to security forum

So what did you do? Do you even know in what format the certificate was sent to you? (pem, x509, binary etc ...)?
Most CA's are able to generate a cert in x509 format. Request for your cert to be in X509 format...
What does the cert look like? If not given the right parms some CA's generate the cert with some additional text prepended or appended. You may have to get rid of that for the keystore to be able to import the cert...
