Convert a CERT/PEM certificate to a PFX certificate

Viewed 585024

I've seen a couple questions about how to convert a PFX to a cert file, but I need to go the other way.

I have two files:

bob_cert.cert

bob_key.pem

I'd like to convert them to a single .pfx file. Is there a tool that does this?

openssl pkcs12 -inkey bob_key.pem -in bob_cert.cert -export -out bob_pfx.pfx

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
