If the certificates are encrypted, you need to decrypt them. Sorry for stating the obvious. However: there is no need to encrypt them in the 1st place. A pkcs#12 file can contain the cert unecrypted and the key encrypted. openssl will encrypt the cert by default if you create a pkcs#12 file. As far as I know you can't generate half-encrypted ones without some programming.
