Oct 10, 2023 at 10:59 comment added grawity_u1686 Just to clarify though, Apache httpd needs PKCS#8, whereas Apache Tomcat should be fine with PKCS#12 (PFX) directly, since it's the default Java format now. (As far as I know, in Java keystores everyone specifies some useless password like "apache"…)

Oct 10, 2023 at 10:55 comment added Daviid Found out why it wasn't finding the certificate, this says CertID so I assumed I could only use the numeric ID, but I've tested and Serial Number, CErtificate Hash/thumbprint and Common Name work too.

Oct 10, 2023 at 10:50 comment added grawity_u1686 Then specify "asdf" or whatever other temporary password you like – it's only needed until you convert from PFX to PKCS#8; once the conversion is done the PKCS#8 .key file can remain unencrypted as usual.
Oct 10, 2023 at 10:47 comment added Daviid Didn't work, Export-PfxCertificate requires a SecureString as password and that can't be empty. I'm trying certutil -exportPFX -p "" My 49 output.pfx NoRoot and it says CertUtil: -exportPFX error del comando: 0x80092004 (-2146885628 CRYPT_E_NOT_FOUND) but Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My shows that the certificate does exist
Oct 10, 2023 at 10:36 comment added grawity_u1686 The PKCS#12 (PFX) file format requires encryption; you can probably use a blank password but the format doesn't really have a "no encryption" mode.
Oct 10, 2023 at 10:25 comment added Daviid For some reason Export-PfxCertificate won't export the file without Password or ProtectTo, I've created the certificate with MachineKeySet = TRUE and Exportable = TRUE and at no point do I set any password.
