Trust two different certs on two nodes

and... because nothing is easy, I thought I would try this to use keytool to create a truststore:

When I attempt to import my CA step 6 from the above page (having skipped step 4), I get this when trying to import my pfx:

keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateParsingException: signed fields invalid

And this when I convert it to a cer:

keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No certificate data found
