The .pfx file containing the certificates and the private key is now saved to the specified location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these steps, you should be able to export the SSL certificate and private key from a Windows server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Convert the .pfx file to New Format using OpenSSL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To convert the .pfx file to separate certificate and key files using OpenSSL, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>openssl pkcs12 -in mydomain.pfx -out mydomain.txt -nodes<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This command will create a text file called <strong>mydomain.txt<\/strong> that contains the contents of the .pfx file. You can then open the text file in a text editor and copy the certificate and key data to separate files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommended:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/resources\/convert-ssl-to-pem-der-crt-pfx\">How to Convert CRT to PEM, DER to PEM, and CER to PFX?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create a separate certificate and key files, you can copy the private key data (including the <strong>&#8212;&#8211;BEGIN PRIVATE KEY&#8212;&#8211;<\/strong> and &#8211;<strong>&#8212;-END PRIVATE KEY&#8212;&#8211;<\/strong> lines) to a file called <strong>mydomain.key<\/strong> and the certificate data (including the <strong>&#8212;&#8211;BEGIN CERTIFICATE&#8212;-<\/strong>&#8211; and &#8212;&#8211;END CERTIFICATE&#8212;&#8211; lines) to a file called <strong>mydomain.crt<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have created the separate certificate and key files, you can use them to <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/resources\/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-in-apache-openssl\">install the SSL certificate on an Apache server<\/a> or another type of server. It is essential to keep the certificate and key files in a secure location, as they contain sensitive information that can be used to access the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Copy an SSL Certificate and Key Files to the Apache Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transfer the certificate and key files<\/strong> from your local computer to the Apache server. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/https-vs-sftp\">SFTP<\/a> or SCP client to upload the files to a secure location on the server, <strong>such as the \/etc\/ssl directory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure the certificate and key files have the <strong>correct permissions on the Apache server<\/strong>. The Apache process will need to be able to read the files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Edit the Apache Configuration File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To specify the locations of the certificate and key files in the Apache configuration file, you will need to edit the file and add the following directives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>SSLCertificateFile \/path\/to\/certificate.crt\nSSLCertificateKeyFile \/path\/to\/private.key<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace <strong>\/path\/to\/certificate.crt<\/strong> with the actual path to the certificate file on the Apache server, and replace <strong>\/path\/to\/private.key<\/strong> with the actual path to the key file on the Apache server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have edited the configuration file and specified the locations of the certificate and key files, you will need to restart the Apache server to apply the changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can do this by running the following command:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>systemctl restart apache2<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voila!
