You'll want to do the following:

 

  1. Export the certificate in PEM format to a file on your local machine

     

  2. Export the private key in PEM format to a file on your local machine

     

  3. If you're already on a Linux machine you should already have OpenSSL, otherwise copy the certificate and private key to a machine that has OpenSSL. Run the above command, substituting the name after the -in option with the name of your certificate file, and substituting the name after the -inkey option with the name of your private key file. The name after the -out option is the name of the p12 file that will be created. This command will prompt you to create a password for the p12.

     

The files are also stored on the BIG-IP in the /config/files/filestore/Common folder, but it's probably easier to export and use OpenSSL on a separate machine.
