Most of the standalone third party tools installed on SNIC resources and your own machine will not be able to use a .p12 certificate bundle, as that format is intended primarily for secure transport and backup of certificates and their private keys.

Instead of a single .p12 file, they expect a pair of files in .pem format, one containing the certificate and the other containing the private key that matches the certificate.

Uploading the .p12 to your target machine

Prepare .globus directory in home directory

Make protected .pem files
