Load a PFX from a File

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxFile, which loads a PFX / PKCS#12 container from a file path, using the supplied password to decrypt it.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Background. A PFX (PKCS#12) container bundles one or more certificates together with their private keys. After loading, the certificates and keys can be enumerated and used.
