Well, your private key is not really private anymore, so you should
generate a new private key/cert pair. But, yes, you can store both in
the same file, provided the file is only readable by the right user
accounts. This is an X509 cert, not an X509v3 cert, typically one now
issues v3 certs, but it may not matter.
