(Go) Load Certificate from PFX (PKCS#12)

Loads a digital certificate (and private key, if available) from a PFX file.(also known as PKCS#12)

    // A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
    // The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
    // private key farthest from the root authority cert.

    // Chilkat certificate store object instead.
