SSL In Pfx file
1.SSL Certificate (Public Key): This is the public part of your SSL certificate that identifies your website and enables encryption.
2.Private Key: This is the secret part of the equation that works with the public key to establish a secure connection. It's crucial to keep this private!
PFX files are commonly used on Windows machines to import and export both the certificate and private key together. This makes it easy to transfer them between servers or applications.
Here are some additional points to remember about PFX files:
1. They are often password protected for added security.
2.You can extract the certificate and private key from a PFX file into separate files (PEM format) using tools like OpenSSL.
3. PFX files are convenient but remember to keep them secure, especially the password.
