I need to export a  pfx format certificate  from windows mmc  to  p12 to use in another application  I cant find a way to do this  Can anyone suggest a method

User · Accepted Answer

p12 and  pfx are both PKCS  12 files   Am I missing something   Have you tried renaming the exported  pfx file to have a  p12 extension

I had trouble with a  pfx file with openconnect  Renaming didn t solve the problem  I used keytool to convert it to  p12 and it worked   keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore new p12 -deststoretype pkcs12 -srckeystore original pfx   In my case the password for the new file  new p12  had to be the same as the password for the  pfx file

Run this command to change  cert file to  p12   openssl pkcs12 -export -out server p12 -inkey server key -in server crt    Where server key is the server key and server cert is a CA issue cert or a self sign cert file

If you are looking for a quick and manual process with UI  I always use Mozilla Firefox to convert from PFX to P12  First import the certificate into the Firefox browser  Options   Privacy  amp  Security   View Certificates      Import      Once installed  perform the export to create the P12 file by choosing the certificate name from the Certificate Manager and then click Backup    and enter the file name and then enter the password

This is more of a continuation of jglouie s response   If you are using openssl to convert the PKCS 12 certificate to public private PEM keys  there is no need to rename the file  Assuming the file is called cert pfx  the following three commands will create a public pem key and an encrypted private pem key   openssl pkcs12 -in cert pfx     -out cert pem     -nodes -nokeys openssl pkcs12 -in cert pfx     -out cert key pem -nodes -nocerts openssl rsa    -in cert key pem -out cert key pem -des3   The first two commands may prompt for an import password  This will be a password that was provided with the PKCS 12 file   The third command will let you specify the encryption passphrase for the certificate  This is what you will enter when using the certificate
