NGINX – Easiest way to setup SSL using .pfx files

Installing OpenSSL with PowerShell and Chocolatey

openssl pkcs12 -in ./YOUR-PFX-FILE.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out domain.crt

Followed by extracting the private key with the following command

openssl pkcs12 -in ./YOUR-PFX-FILE.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out domain.rsa
