Getting a certificate from an https site

Question

I need to get the site certificate for my company's vpn site, so I can use it to set up the cisco client built in to OS X.

I can expand the certificate under the lock icon in Chrome and Safari, but I can't extract it from there. I tried searching through Keychain Access, and it's not in there. The certificate is under the Go Daddy CA, in the browser, but there's no way to expand that in Keychain to get the derived certificates.

Any suggestions on how to get a copy of this certificate (or even just the public key it contains)?

Solution 1

Firefox has the ability to download them. Expose it the same way, then choose export.

Solution 2

You can also export in Chrome, click on the lock, select connection tab, select certification information, select details and then button "copy to file". Really easy to find!
