How to Create .pem File for Apple Pay

I am creating payment functionality with Apple Pay. I have used the CSR file to create a merchant_id.CER file from Apple developer portal.

using curl

curl --data '{"merchantIdentifier":"merchant.xxxxx", "domainName":"www.xxxxxx.com", "displayName":"xxxxx xxx xxxxx", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "www.xxxxxx.com"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --cert ./certificates/merchant_id.cer https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession

It's returning an error

curl: (58) could not load PEM client certificate, LibreSSL error error:09FFF06C:PEM routines:CRYPTO_internal:no start line, (no key found, wrong pass phrase, or wrong file format?)

I looked at Authorize.net sample project for Apple Pay JS and i noticed a pem file.

How Do We Create a pem file using cer file?

Based on Apple Documentation - It looks like we need a private key (root of the csr file) to create the pem file

To create a Payment Processing certificate

In Member Center, select Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. Under Identifiers, select Merchant IDs. Select the merchant ID from the list, and click Edit. In the Payment Processing Certificates section. click Create Certificate.

I also want to create the .pem file. I have the merchant_id.cer and apple_pay.cer but don't know how to create it.

I have create the files. I followed the following link

https://github.com/norfolkmustard/ApplePayJS/blob/master/README.md

if you do not want to create the separate files from p12 file then you can use the below command to create a single file.

$ openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out apple-pay-cert.pem -nodes -clcerts

you can test the created fine using the curl command.

$ curl -gv --data '{"merchantIdentifier":"merchant.com.testbed.applepay", "initiativeContext":"mydomain.com", "initiative":"web", "displayName":"Apple Pay Testbed"}' --cert /path/to/pem/apple-pay-cert.pem https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession

modify the different values according to your setup.

Using curl I am getting the proper response but when I host my asp.net core code on server the it is not working.

Below is the code sample.
