Fix Apple MDM CSR Conversion
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I’m stuck turning an Apple MDM .csr file into the required .pem file. I’m doing the conversion inside Keychain Access on macOS, but every attempt ends with the “Certificate conversion failed” message.
What I need from you: walk me through – or remotely perform – the correct steps to generate a valid .pem file from my existing .csr, verify the result, and explain any tweaks (OpenSSL commands, Keychain settings, file-permission changes, etc.) so I can repeat the process on my own next time.
Deliverable
• A working .pem file derived from my provided .csr
• A concise set of repeatable instructions outlining what you did and why, so I can update future MDM push certificates without hitting the same roadblock.
