PFX is (AFAIK) a proprietary M$ format, so no, but it's easy enough to change into a different format... http://www.petefreitag.com/item/16.cfm

Hi,
Thanks for valuable reply.I have gone through the link given by you for converting the certificate from PFX to PEM.After converting can I use that for configuring LDAP ?

Many Thanks

I'm not familiar with openldap ssl configs, but either PEM or DER format are going to be valid, possibly both.
