Convert a PFX to a Java KeyStore

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToJksObj, which populates a JavaKeyStore with a JKS representation of the PFX, then writes it to a file.

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. One private-key entry is created for each private key, with certificate chains built from the PFX certificates. The password protects the generated Java KeyStore.
