Two ways to do it:

1) Download the certmgr.py utility from 

http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/bin/certmgr.py?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

   This tool will let you export certificates from an AG 2 profile into a pair
   of .pem files (one for the key, one for the cert) that can be reimported

2) Get the AG 2.1.2 beta from 

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.1.2-beta/AGTk-2.1.2-beta.exe

   which has the ability to export as well as import the .pem files from within
   the Venue Client interface.
