Firstly there isn't any such thing as a PKCS#12 "certificate". A PKCS#12
file is a format for storing private keys and certificates.

There isn't any function that will directly use a PKCS#12 file for a
server key and certificate. This isn't a problem though because the
PKCS#12 file can be readily broken into the standard X509, EVP_PKEY
structures that the SSL library needs.
