The following information describes editing the registry. Before proceeding, backup the registry, and be sure you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Windows Registry information for advanced users for more information.
Forcepoint provides information on how to edit the Windows registry as a convenience to users, but does not support Windows in any way and will not be responsible for any problems that may arise from editing.
Important Using Registry Editor incorrectly may cause serious problems that could require you to reinstall the operating system. Forcepoint and Microsoft do not guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using the Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
If you have your own cert in (PKCS12) .p12 format, you can try extracting the .crt and .key files from it with the OpenSSL tool:
- openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out server.crt -nodes -clcerts -nokeys
- openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out encryptedserver.key -nodes -nocerts
