Import a client certificate (pfx format) on Internet Explorer / Chrome on Windows

If your CSR was generated via our KeyBot tool, you can generate a PFX file from the status page of your certificate, button Generate PFX / PEM. You can find more information here: Generate a client certificate in PFX format

Installation of the certificate

After generating your certificate in PFX format, double-click on your .pfx file. The Windows installation wizard opens:

• Select "Local user" and click on "Next"
  
  
• Check the path to the file and click "Next"
  
  
• Enter the certificate protection password (which was defined when generating the pfx file). Check the box to make the key exportable and click "Next"
  
  
• Click on "Select automatically" and click on "Next"
  
  
• Click on "Finish"

A message appears confirming the success of the import. Click on "OK"
