After needing to use a cer file in Windows Azure to sign a web request I needed to upload the given CER file to the cloud and into my Azure nodes. This however proved problematic when the Windows Azure Management Portal only allowed the upload of PFX certificates (with a password) so I had to find a way to transform the current CER certificate to a PFX certificate.

This method create a PFX certificate from a CER certificate at the location specified and gives a password to be used with the PFX certificate so that it can be successfully uploaded to Azure and used to sign my http requests.

About

By day a virtual warrior, hunched over a keyboard cranking out line after line of code at Huddle, living the East London tech dream at Silicon Roundabout. We are an Enterprise collaboration tool that will revolutionise how your company collaborates, shares and operates, we are taking the fight to Microsoft SharePoint, we are David and we're taking on Goliath.
However, by night this pasty geek escapes his keyboard and monitor with the attempt to get fit. I train at one of the greatest gyms in London, Thames CrossFit. CrossFit is not like other gyms its a lifestyle, and as the guys at Thames say you must be prepared to work hard.
I also run with the great Run Dem Crew a Shoreditch based running family who run the mean streets of London by night. RDC is a mecca for runners, and creatives alike.
With all this training its bound to get hard, its bound to be tough but its certainly worth it when you achieve something great and make friends along the way.
So remember, "Pain is temporary but victory is forever".
