PKCS12 Files

Refresh PKCS12 files when test certificates and keys (PEM files) are refreshed (e.g. expiry workflow)

• client.p12 is a p12/pfx packaging of client.pem and client-key.pem

openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey ./client-key.pem -in ./client.pem -out client.p12

Note: set the PKCS12 bundle password to s3cr3t as required by provisioning scripts

Cert Store Provisioning Scripts

Windows cert store supports p12/pfx bundle for certificate-with-key import. Windows cert store tests will execute a Powershell script to import relevant PKCS12 bundle into the Windows store before the test. Equivalent to:

powershell.exe -command "& '..\test\configs\certs\tlsauth\certstore\import-<client,server>-p12.ps1'"

The delete-cert-from-store.ps1 script deletes imported certificates from the Windows store (if present) that can cause side-effects and impact the validity of different use tests.

Note: Tests are configured for "current user" store context. Execute tests with appropriate Windows permissions (e.g. as Admin) if adding tests with "local machine" store context specified.
