How do I add a key file (.key) to my certificate file (.cer) in Keychain Access?

Question

Trying to add a certificate-key combo (that I downloaded from a colleague) to my Keychain Access so that I can select the certificate file when setting up a new VPN Network in Authentication Settings.

I can add the certificate but Keychain is saying it's not trusted and I'm not sure how to associate it with its corresponding .key file. Thanks for the help!

I added the key via the Command Line with

security import mykey.key -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

And then renamed the key in KeyChain Access to match my certificate.
