if you need cert in .crt format with key for ssl you can use open ssl to extract the keys.

download from here https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

When installing make sure to add to environment variables and PATH to use easily from the command line - go to sysdm.cpl or run the following commands for a one time use:

• set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl.cfg
• set Path=%Path%;C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin

Use the following command to extract when running openssl as admin:

• openssl pkcs12 -in C:\PathToThePFXfile\myPFXfileName.pfx -out certificate.txt -nodes

This will extract the cert to a text file where you can grab the public and private keys and save them in text as a .crt and .key file.

Extract the key to encrypted key

• openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -nocerts -out [keyfile-encrypted.key]

Extract unencrypted key

• openssl rsa -in [keyfile-encrypted.key] -out [keyfile-decrypted.key]

Extract Just certificate

• openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -clcerts -nokeys -out [certificate.crt]

Convert From .pem to pfx

Certificates will need to be converted for use in windows IIS as windows prefers .pfx format

Use the following command

• openssl pkcs12 -export -in <certname>.pem -inkey <privatekey>.pem -out <Certificate>.pfx
