Step 2: Import the ssl cert to apache

1. Open openssl.exe in the "apache/bin/" directory
2. Export the client certificate file from the pfx file using this command

   //change mysite to whatever you named your pfx file from step 1 above
   openssl> pkcs12 -in mysite.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out mysite.crt
   

3. Export the DigiCert intermediate certificate file (DigiCertCA.crt) from the pfx file using this command

   //change mysite to whatever you named your pfx file from step 1 above
   openssl> pkcs12 -in mysite.pfx -cacerts -nokeys -out DigiCertCA.crt
   

4. Export the private key file from the pfx file using the following command

   //change mysite to whatever you named your pfx file from step 1 above
   openssl> pkcs12 -in mysite.pfx -nocerts -out mysite.key
   

5. Remove the passphrase from the private key so Apache won't prompt you for your passphase when it starts

   openssl> rsa -in mysite.key -out mysite.key
   

Alternative Method: For Info only,You can skip this

Alternatively you can write a text file from which to extract the key

openssl> pkcs12 -in mypfxfile.pfx -out outputfile.txt -nodes

The above command would have created a text file named outputfile.txt. Open this file with a text editor and you will see the private key listed first:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(Block of Random Text)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Copy and paste all of the private key, including the BEGIN and END tags to a new text file and save it as your_domain_name.key

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Block of Random Text)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Copy and paste all of the private key, including the BEGIN and END tags to a new text file and save it as your_domain_name.cert
