Download SAML certificate from legacy Dropbox app and import to new Dropbox Business enterprise app

Hi,
I am migrating our users to the new Dropbox SCIM app(Dropbox Business) and I am trying to avoid downtime. My one sticking point is the certificate. Dropbox only allows for use of one certificate.

I was thinking that I could import the existing Dropbox app cert to the new Dropbox Business app, but It requires a PFX file which is not one of the download options. I investigated converting it using openssl but I need a .key file. How do I get the key file or do I generate it myself?

Essentially, how can I re-use an Enterprise SAML certificate for another Enterprise App?

Thanks,
John

    Hello @Anonymous ,

    Thanks for reaching out and sorry for delayed response.

    You would only get option to download public key pairs (.cer , .pem) of SAML Signing Certificate not private key pairs as theses certificate are autogenerate and managed by Azure AD.

    Therefore you can't download certificate along with private key (PFX) and re-use across Enterprise application in Azure AD.

    In case if you wish to use same SAML Signing Certificate then you have to create own self-signed certificate or buy new certificate (.pfx) which can be imported and then reused across Enterprise application.
