How to import a certificate with private key on Certificate Management Tool -
by way i'm able import certificate on certificate management tool having .pfx file. i'm using makecert.exe utility generate certificates.
first step - generate certification authority using following command:
makecert.exe -n "cn=testca" -r -sv testca.pvk testca.cer
second step - generated private key file , certificate file
makecert.exe -n "cn=testcert" -sv testcert.pvk -iv testca.pvk -ic testca.cer testcert.cer -sky signature -pe
now i'm able see generated 4 files, testca.pvk, testca.cer, testcert.pvk, testcert.cer
when importing i'm not able choose pvk file certificate management tool.
after researching little, found microsoft utility named pvk2pfx.exe overcome issue.
this utility takes 2 files , merges them 1 .pfx file certification management tool uses import certificates private keys.
