2011年6月10日 · With that you can generate the pfx file by the following steps: Import private key in the "Private Keys" tab; Import the certificate in the "Certificates" tab; Generate the pfx file by selecting the certificate and then "Export", select PKCS #12 as the format. That's it.

A .pfx file is a PKCS#12 archive: a bag which can contain a lot of objects with optional password protection; but, usually, a PKCS#12 archive contains a certificate (possibly with its assorted set of CA certificates) and the corresponding private key.

2019年6月12日 · What is a PKCS #12 file? In the broadest terms, a PKCS #12 file is a bundle of cryptographic things. As stated above, in order to use a certificate, you need the corresponding private key. To make things "simple" for deployment, the certificate and the private key are often bundled together in one PKCS #12 file (e.g. myname.pfx).

Windows uses .pfx for a PKCS #12 file. This file can contain a variety of cryptographic information, including certificates, certificate chains, root authority certificates, and private keys. Its contents can be cryptographically protected (with passwords) to keep private keys private and preserve the integrity of root certificates.
