Sorry about that. The support for certificates is through the PKCS#11
interface. Not implemented in the CLI. The CLI only imports private
and public keys.

Perhaps trying something like this with pkcs11-tool (maybe missing
some arguments):
pkcs11-tool --module=/usr/local/lib/libsofthsm.so -p 1234 -l -y cert
-a LABEL -d 1234567890 -w server.crt
