I’m finalising an MDM solution and the last step is converting my certificate signing request into the .pem file the system expects. On macOS I create the .csr with a GUI app, yet when I feed that file into the conversion process I consistently get “File access denied”. I need you to: • diagnose why this particular .csr is being rejected, • successfully generate the required .pem, and • show me the repeatable steps (or correct settings/permissions) so I can recreate the file myself when the certificate renews. If you prefer using Terminal-based OpenSSL or have another reliable workflow, that’s fine as long as the end result is a valid .pem that my MDM server accepts. Quick turnaround is appreciated; as soon as the file works I’ll release payment.

Hello I have extensive experience with OpenSSL and I am able to convert CS to PEM and figure out what is issue on your machine. I understand you need to reproduce on your machine, and I can help with it too

OpenSSL | macOS | CSR | PEM | Certificates | MDM | DevOps Hi, I have 15+ years of DevOps experience working with SSL/certificates and OpenSSL workflows across macOS and Linux. I can quickly diagnose why your .csr is failing (“file access denied” is usually permissions, path, or format-related), then generate a valid .pem using a clean, repeatable method (Terminal/OpenSSL or GUI-based if you prefer). I’ll also verify the PEM works with your MDM before handover. I’ve handled similar issues—CSR format mismatches, permission errors, incorrect key pairing—and fix them reliably. I’ll show you exact steps to recreate the process during renewal so you’re not stuck again. Rahul

I see you are getting a file access denied error when converting your macOS GUI generated CSR for your MDM setup. Those GUI tools often mess up file permissions or sandbox the output making it impossible for the system to read it properly. Ill grab your apns_new file and run it through terminal based OpenSSL to see exactly where it gets blocked. Once I diagnose the restriction ill generate the clean PEM file your MDM server expects. I will also write up a short text file with the exact commands and permission fixes so you can easily recreate this yourself when the certificate renews. If you need any tweaks or related server work down the line I can handle that too so you dont have to go through the hiring process again. Drop me a message and we can get this rolling.
