p12 migration - Import p12 continued

Choose P12 file

We should now reach the point in the installation where nodectl needs to know:

1. Which p12 file (if multiple) that we want to import
2. Where the p12 file is located.

nodectl will offer us a menu of options for any p12 files that it finds on your system. In this example we can pretend we uploaded mynode.p12 to our ubuntu users's account using the instructions from the pervious steps.

We can choose 1 ( do not hit enter )

If you do not see your p12 file, this means either you placed it in a location that nodectl is not looking within, or you did not properly upload your p12 file.

If the former, you can hit 2 and then enter in the fully qualified location of your p12 file.
