Setting up SSL for node.js with a private key

I've setup our IIS server with SSL enabled. The certificate provided to us by our administrator contains only the .cer and .pfb files. I was able to configure IIS with just the cer file. However, for nodejs, from the internet searches that i've made, it seems that we need a private key (.key) to successfully setup the NodeJS with SSL. Is there anyway i can setup NodeJS with just the .cer or .pfb files?

Thanks,

Are you sure it is a pfb and not a pfx? – Simone Carletti

Finally figured it out.

  1. Export the certificate on MMC. See this link for more info:
  2. Follow the procedure from this link

it will give you a certificate and the key.
