Converting .crt files for use in a JSS

I've been trying to wrap my brain around what to do to get four .crt files from our SSL provider into the JSS.

The file names are as follows: AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
 COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt
COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
 <our domain>.crt

What's the easiest way to get these into the PCKS12 or JKS format? I've been Googling and it seems I'm probably missing something.

For the CSR I needed to generate on the server, I have the .csr file along with a .jks file they had me generate (From these instructions: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9422/0/tomcat-using-keytool)

Anyone who can shed some light on what I can do? I'm out of options that I'm aware of.

    I've had past success by importing the certificates into my keychain via Keychain Access and then exporting them into a different format.

    Depending on the individual item you can export as .cer, .pem, .p7b, or .p12.

    I figured it out. I just wasn't sure what files I needed to convert.

    I decided to write an article about how I did it. Just in case someone else is having an issue like me.

    Not sure why the JSS won't accept .pfx and only .p12 when .pfx is the same as PKCS12 format.
