Hi all,

I would like to work with certificates and the third part authority send me values :

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[...]Many letters and digits[...]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[...]Many letters and digits[...]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

But I need a .cer file to put in my IIS ...

The string you pasted is Base64 DER encoded X.509 certificate.

What certificate file format does IIS expect? The simplest try is to save this stuff in a .cer file and pass it to IIS.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509#Certificate_filename_extensions for details
