It is a binary format, and these files are also known as PFX files. Developers often need to transform PFX files to some different format, such as PEM or JKS, so that they can be used by standalone Java clients using SSL communication, or WebLogic Server.
Run the DigiCert® Certificate Utility for Windows (double-click DigiCertUtil). In the Certificate Export wizard, select Yes, export the private key, select pfx file, and then check Include all certificates in the certification path if possible, and finally, click Next. A . pfx file uses the same format as a .
openssl pkcs12 -inkey bob_key.pem -in bob_cert.cert -export -out bob_pfx.pfx
I created .pfx file from .key and .pem files.
Like this openssl pkcs12 -inkey rootCA.key -in rootCA.pem -export -out rootCA.pfx
That's not the direct answer but still maybe it helps out someone else.
Here is how to do this on Windows without third-party tools:
Import certificate to the certificate store. In Windows Explorer select "Install Certificate" in context menu.
Follow the wizard and accept default options "Local User" and "Automatically".
Find your certificate in certificate store. On Windows 10 run the "Manage User Certificates" MMC. On Windows 2013 the MMC is called "Certificates". On Windows 10 by default your certificate should be under "Personal"->"Certificates" node.
Export Certificate. In context menu select "Export..." menu:
Select "Yes, export the private key":
You will see that .PFX option is enabled in this case:
Specify password for private key.
If you have a self-signed certificate generated by makecert.exe on a Windows machine, you will get two files: cert.pvk and cert.cer. These can be converted to a pfx using pvk2pfx
pvk2pfx is found in the same location as makecert (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86 or similar)
pvk2pfx -pvk cert.pvk -spc cert.cer -pfx cert.pfx
