Signed csr certificate request rejected by apple push certificates portal

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Hi list,

I’m getting the following rejection from “apple push certificates portal” upon attempted upload of IBM signed csr:

"Invalid Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request you entered appears to be invalid. Make sure that request file uploaded is in the correct format and not empty."

This happens on IE8 and Firefox 17 alike with :

----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----

----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----

header/feeter or omitting them alike

file doesn’t contain any blanks and/or carriage returns and/or other escape characters.

Total characters count is 24887 (any hard limit hit here ?)

Many thanks for your suggestions !

The issue has been solved meanwhile - the csr file had erroneously been signed twice. - Pls note - as somebody already mentioned before that pem file generation will more reliably work when you launch your request to apple from firefox.
