'  LoadFromFile will load virtually any certificate format file.
'  It will auto-recognize the format and load appropiately.
'  A base64-encoded DER X.509 certificate file
'  contains the binary DER in base64 encoded form.
'  Therefore, it is a text file that will begin like this:
'  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
'  MIIFbjCCBFagAwIBAgIGdDPNv/L0MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIHKMQswCQYDVQQG
