Explanation: Converting the signed certificate to PKCS#12 format
After you receive the certificate (ending in .cer or .crt) from your certificate authority. It must be converted to the PKCS#12 format. To convert it requires key files you generated while generating the certificate request and the signed certificate:
1.Copy the signed certificate file to the server where you generated the certificate signing request.
2.Use OpenSSL to generate the PKCS#12 certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in protected.cer -inkey protected.key -name "vrprot" -passout pass:replication55 -out protected.p12 openssl pkcs12 -export -in recovery.cer-inkey recovery.key -name "vrdr" -passout pass:replication55 -out recovery.p12 Reference: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2080395
