I have two files.
File whose contents start with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
File whose contents start with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
How do I use these two files to create a SSL for a given website in IIS 8/Windows Server 2012 R2
I have tried a few suggestions like useing OpenSSl and running this command:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out lcertificate.pfx -inkey private.key -in cert.crt -certfile CACert.crt
But I get an error : unable to load certificates
What am I doing wrong or is there a better way to install SSL certificates for IIS 8 Website using those two files.

4This is not on-topic for this site, but the answer is you can't. The first file is a certificate request file, not a certificate. You need the file with the certificate that has the public key that is paired with your private key file. – Xander – 2019-08-27T19:27:46.773
sorry, I am a total noob to SSL. so certbot is a tool that will help me create a .pfx file using the above mentioned files? – Harobed – 2019-08-27T19:29:30.513
@VipulNair There is no certbot for Windows. – Xander – 2019-08-27T20:08:40.740
