Personal certificates contain a private key and a public key.
You can extract the public key, called the signer certificate, to a
file, then import the certificate into another keystore. The client requires
the signer portion of a personal certificate for Security Socket Layer (SSL)
communication.
Before you begin
The keystore that contains a personal certificate must already exist.
