As per the latest TLS library update, only .pem type certificate import will be supported further. Users with old format .pfx can use the below steps to convert the certificate to .pem before importing.

To convert .pfx file into .pem file, use openssl commands –
openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -out cert.pem after that remove the bag attributes from the output file.
