What If I Only Find a `.pfx` File?
Some clients, like Certify The Web, prefer to create a single `.pfx` file which
contains both the certificate and the private key. HMailServer cannot use this f
ile directly, so you must extract the `.cer` and `.key` files from it using **Op
enSSL**.
1. Copy the `.pfx` file to a working directory.
2. Open a command prompt and run these two commands:
**To extract the public certificate (`.cer`):**
```bash
openssl pkcs12 -in yourdomain.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out yourdomain.cer
**To extract the private key (`.key`):**
openssl pkcs12 -in yourdomain.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out yourdomain.key
You will be prompted for an "Import Password." If you did not set one when c
reating the certificate, just press Enter (the password may be blank).
