I went through this when trying to get a clientcert and private key out of a keystore   The link above posted by welsh was great  but there was an extra step on my redhat distribution   If curl is built with NSS    run curl --version to see if you see NSS listed   then you need to import the keys into an NSS keystore   I went through a bunch of convoluted steps  so this may not be the cleanest way  but it got things working  So export the keys into  p12   keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore  jksfile -destkeystore  p12file           -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12           -srcstorepass  jkspassword -deststorepass  p12password           -srcalias  myalias -destalias  myalias           -srckeypass  keypass -destkeypass  keypass -noprompt    And generate the pem file that holds only the key    echo making   fileroot  key pem  openssl pkcs12 -in  p12 -out   fileroot  key pem             -passin pass  p12password             -passout pass  p12password  -nocerts     Make an empty keystore     mkdir   nss chmod 700   nss certutil -N -d   nss     Import the keys into the keystore    pks12util -i  lt mykeys gt  p12 -d   nss -W  lt password for cert  gt     Now curl should work    curl --insecure --cert  lt client cert alias gt   lt password for cert gt         --key   fileroot  key pem   lt URL gt     As I mentioned  there may be other ways to do this  but at least this was repeatable for me   If curl is compiled with NSS support  I was not able to get it to pull the client cert from a file

Addition to previous answer make sure that your curl installation supports https   You can use curl --version to get information about supported protocols   If your curl supports https follow the previous answer      curl --cert certificate path password https   www example com   If it does not support https  you need to install a cURL version that supports https
