📋 Windows: Create a .p12 / .pfx certificate from a .p7b file

This article is a step-by-step guide for administrators on how to convert an SSL certificate from .p7b format to the required .pfx or .p12 format using the Windows Certificate Manager.

📋 Windows: Create a .p12 / .pfx certificate from a .p7b file

To provide an SSL certificate to FTAPI Support, you need it in .pfx or .p12 format. If you have received your certificate in .p7b format, you can combine it with the private key and export it using the Windows Certificate Manager.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open Certificate Manager: Open the Windows Certificate Manager via the Run dialog (Windows key + R) and the command certmgr.msc.
  2. Import .p7b file: Import the received .p7b file into the Certificate Manager.
  3. Check private key: Ensure that the private key associated with the certificate is present and linked in the system.
  4. Export certificate: Right-click on the certificate and select "All Tasks" $ ightarrow$ "Export...".
  5. Select format: Follow the export wizard and select "Personal Information Exchange - PKCS #12 (.PFX)" as the format.
  6. Export private key: In the export wizard, enable the option "Yes, export the private key". This is mandatory.

Important note on the password

You will be prompted during the process to set an export password for the .pfx file. This password is essential for using the file later.

Ensure that you save the password securely after the export and provide it to FTAPI Support along with the .pfx file (please only via a secure channel, e.g., a SubmitBox).
