Use the following command as an example to generate the PFX key using the private key and certificate that you previously created.
"openssl pkcs12 -export -out <file path to the new personal information exchange file>.pfx -inkey <file path path to the private key>.key -in <file path to the certificate>.cer"openssl pkcs12 -export -out "C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashboard\WebApplication\conf\keystore.pfx" -inkey "C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashboard\WebApplication\conf\localhostone.key" -in "C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashboard\WebApplication\conf\localhostone.cer"
Once you executed the command, you need to Enter the Export password, and the verification password:
