Dr. Steve,

  Thanks. I received the pfx file but the java keytool program for java
1.4.2_08 would not permit me to place it in jks keystore since it claimed
that there was no private key in the file. By converting it to P12 format,
we have been able to import it into our keystore. I completely overlooked
the -export option. Your help was terrific.... many thanks.

 
Kind Regards,

PKCS#12 and PFX are the same format, no conversion is necessary unless you
want to change part of the file.

You need the -export option too.
