It is highly recommended that you convert to and from .pfx files on your own machine using OpenSSL so you can keep the private key there. Use the following OpenSSL commands to convert SSL certificate to different formats on your own machine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Convert PEM to DER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert PEM to P7B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert PEM to PFX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert DER to PEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert P7B to PEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert P7B to PFX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert PFX to PEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When converting a PFX file to PEM format, OpenSSL will put all the certificates and the private key into a single file. You will need to open the file in a text editor and copy each certificate and private key (including the BEGIN\/END statements) to its own individual text file and save them as certificate.cer, CACert.cer, and privateKey.key respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ref: SSL Converter – Convert SSL Certificates to different formats (sslshopper.com)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is highly recommended that you convert to and from .pfx files on your own machine using OpenSSL so you can keep the private key there.
