I have an SSL certificate from GoDaddy in the following formats
- CRT
- PEM
- P7B
I also downloaded the CSR and private key as text files.
However I need to convert these to PFX format in order to install the certificate on an Azure App Service. I previously tried OpenSSL but it seems that Azure no longer recognizes the encryption method (I shall post the details of these attempts separately).
I have previously used the certutil program to successfully convert a .CER formatted SSL certificate to .PFX format using the syntax
certutil -MergePFX mycert.cer mycert.pfx
as suggested in an answer to the post https://stackoverflow.com/q/9971464/14499007 (note that I previously converted the .CRT file to a .CER file).
However, when I tried to do this again with a new SSL certificate, I get the error
CertUtil: -MergePFX command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
CertUtil: The system cannot find the file specified.
The mycert.cer is most definitely in the directory - I actually use tab completion to enter the name. In particular, I can run the command
certutil -dump mycert.cer
and the file is dumped to the screen.
I have that people have had similar errors with other uses of CertUtil, so I am thinking it may be a particular quirk of the program where it needs to be prompted to recognise what directory it is in.
I have tried entering the full path of the file but I get the same error.
It may be that I am not even using the correct method (as I have not used certutil much before).
I would greatly appreciate any help with this as I thought I had found a convenient method of generating PFX files (which turns out to be an unduly complicated process) only to be stumped by this mystery error!
