Answer 1

A different approach is to convert the client PEM certificate to the PFX format supported by Windows. This can be done using, for example, openssl, by running:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.pfx -inkey cert.key -in cert.pem -certfile ca.pem

(where "cert.pfx" is the output file, "cert.key" contains the private key, "cert.pem" contains the input certificate, and "ca.pem" contains the certificate of the signer).
