I need to obtain the same 'text' of a certificate that I would if I were to
use Verisign, or some other 3rd party certification authority, using
microsoft certificate services (windows 2000 server). How would I go about
doing that?

other info: using the certificates snapin I can request and get a
certificate but the format it opens in is a windows dialog, not just the
text I need. From this properties dialot I can 'copy to file' but again,
that creates files the only open the same type of properties dialog. Just
opening the file in notepad shows a lot of characters that lead me to
believe that is not the text I need. What I am expecting is similar to this:

-------------- BEGIN CERT------------------
KJDAKJDF;AKJDFKADJFADJFASDJFAK
ADJF;KLAJDF;AKJSDF;KASJDFKDFKDJ
ADL;KJFA;DJF;AKSDJF;ASKJDF;ADJF;A
ADKFJ;ASD;FJA;SDFFJ;AKSJDF;AKJDFA
AJ;SDFJKA;SDKJF;ASDFFJ;ALSJDFKDFJ
ETC...
------------- END CERT ---------------------

any help is appreciated. by the way, the cert is for an antivirus smtp
gateway that is managed via browser. It wants me to paste in the text of a
certificate to enable SSL for it's own little http server.
