This needs to be done on your deskop. Using the keytool (comes with jdk) snd openssl.

1. See answer 3.

2. Pretty everything except the payload.

3. You can convert the .p12 to a Keystore and then extract the Trust store from that.

keytool -importkeystore \
  -srckeystore client.p12 \
  -srcstoretype PKCS12 \
  -destkeystore kafka.client.keystore.jks \
  -deststoretype JKS

To Create the Trust Store - extract the CA certs:

openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -cacerts -out ca-cert.pem -nokeys

Then, import CA cert(s) into a new truststore:

keytool -import -alias kafka-ca -file ca-cert.pem -keystore kafka.client.truststore.jks
