How to make PKCS12 (PKCS#12) contain more than one private key in .p12 container?

I used Openssl to create a PKCS12 .p12 container storing a private key, server certificate and a CACertificate (Self signed) and I was able to export/parse the same successfully.

But I want to know how I can add more than one Private key to the same container. For example - I have 2 sets of server certificate and 2 private keys that I need add to the single .p12 container. From that .p12 container I want to parse and extract both private keys separately along with 2 server certificates.

In this link, it is mentioned that it is possible to do so but there are no answers on how to achieve it.

How can I achieve this? How can I save private keys(PK1 and PK2) and Server certs (C1, C2) into .p12 and extract them using OpenSsl?

While you can use OpenSSL utility directly as mentioned in the comments to original question, you might consider Keystore Explorer GUI tool for maintaining multiple certificate/key pairs in a single PKCS12 store file.

The content of PKCS12 file with multiple items looks as follows: screenshot of Keystore Explorer window
