  • Ask the company/entity that issued the files to explain to you what each file is. You're not going to get an answer here.

     

  • @eesun. Technically the extension on a cert/key doesn't really affect it's function unless you have a weird importer.

     

    We can only assume from the filenames that abc.crt is the actual cert and the .tex is the private key. We do NOT want to see the contents of the .tex file just in case it is the private key. You'll need to clarify with the person responsible for the certs or the app. You may just need one, you may need both, it will be application specific how these are put to use.

     

    Use this site to verify your certs and keys and see if they match:

    Regarding the duplicate post, people will answer the question but you have to give it some time. Please be patient and if you ask a detailed question, you'll get a detailed answer. This one is tough because there's not much to go on.
