Host Certificate Information Expander (.pfx)
When you click Create Certificate > Create Host Certificate (.pfx), the Host Certificate Information expander displays. This allows you to create a .pfx host certificate. Note that this creates two host certificates; one with the extension .pfx and another with the extension .cer, at the specified location on the disk.
In order to create a .pfx host certificate, you must have a .pfx root certificate. You can create multiple host certificates using one .pfx root certificate.
