asked on 

When I try to export from with the CA, I don't get an option " yes, export the private key" and on the export file format " Personal Information Exchange - PKCS#12(.PFX)" is greyed out".

For Citrix NetScaler, I need .pfx SSL certificate. But I received .cer SSL file. To convert this CER file to PFX, I have followed below process.
Opened Certificate MMC --> Imported the CER file in PERSONAL\Certificate --> Export
When I try to export from with the CA, I don't get an option " yes, export the private key"  and on the export file format " Personal Information Exchange - PKCS#12(.PFX)" is greyed out".
Please suggest.

As the expert advice, below has the screen run-through. Can also check out the last resort troubleshooting tactic.

If your imported SSL certificate and it does not state you have a private key then your private key was either corrupted or never generated on this system. You will have to start from scratch generating a new CSR > Perform a reissue of the SSL Certificate > then perform SSL Certificate installation.

Finally resolved the issue.
1. I have to import or install the CER on the same server.. where I have created the CSR.
2. Then I can export as .pfx.

SSL / HTTPS
SSL / HTTPS

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
