Convert certificate file (.cer/.crt) to PFX

Sometimes you need a .pfx style certificate for whatever purpose, this is how you create it:

openssl pkcs12 -export -in website.cer -inkey website.key -out website.pfx

You will be asked for a password, this is recommended because otherwise the key can be abused without any effort if someone has found your .pfx file.

website.cer is an example, change it with your own file.
