For that, you need the private key that the public key in the PKCS#12 was derived from. After the CA issues and signs the certificate, the CA is out of the loop. See my answer below for more info. | |

| May 22, 2021 at 21:34 | comment | added | Patrick Mevzek | 1) "generated a CA certificate from GoDaddy." I doubt so. You get certificates from CA such as GoDaddy. You don't generate a "CA certificate". 2) "I was able to generate it but it did not have the private key" Because normally the private key never leaves your side, the CA generates your certificate based on content submitted that does not include the private key. In all cases your certificate provider should be able to help you install the certificate. At worst, you just start from scratch with a new request for certificate, and a new private key. | |

Do you have the private key that corresponds with the public key in the PEM and/or CRT file? You'll need it, in order to do anything useful with the certificate. If you don't have it, you may want to just start over with a new keypair and a new CSR. Notwithstanding, you can use openssl pkcs12 to create PKCS#12 or PFX files from PEM or CRT files. See openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/pkcs12.html for more info.
