How do you use a .p12 certificate on Android?

How do you use a .p12 certificate on Android?

I tried adding it at Menu/Settings/Location and security.

When I do this the certificate disappears from the SD card but when I go to the website that needs the .p12-certificate I just get a connection error.

The certificate, password, and URL are all good. I triple checked them.

I am not the only one with this issue, right? My colleagues with iPad / iPhone can use it easily but on Android it's a pain in the ass. They just double click on the .p12 file, give certificate password, and they are set.

How come it's not like this on Android?
