Create .pfx Private Key Certificates for Azure Web app

Question

I purchased certificate from godaddy and currently I have the following files

• xxx.crt
• xxx.pem
• xxx.p7b
• generated-csr.txt
• generated-private-key.txt

I am having a hardtime setting it up in my azure web app, it requires me to upload .pfx (Private Key Certificates)

I tried openssl

openssl pkcs12 -export -out {name}.pfx -inkey generated-private-key.txt in xxx.crt

It says unable to load private key, is there any process needed to create private key using that generated-private-key.txt ?

You could try the following methods:

With OpenSSL, you could get a similar question from https://sg.godaddy.com/community/SSL-And-Security/Install-Godaddy-SSL-on-IIS-10-Windows-Server-2019/td-p/147344

• Open generated-private-key.txt in Notepad++ and change the encoding from UTF-8-BOM to UTF-8
• Run this command: openssl pkcs12 -export -out {name}.pfx -inkey generated-private-key.txt in xxx.crt

Alternatively, Install your certificate in MMC and export the PFX file
