    Excellent answer; but I'll add two notes: First, for historical reasons the extension ".pfx" is sometimes used for PKCS #12 files (see Wikipedia). Second, in the screenshots there's a disclosure triangle next to the "com.apple.idmsa..." certificate; clicking that would reveal the corresponding private key that makes it show up in "My Certificates" and allows it to be used for authentication.

  • How can I move the key file (that appears after clicking the triangle) from Keychain in one computer to a new computer?
