p12pwd.txt == password(of your choice) for the PKCS12 file which contains the exported 
certificates.

internal.txt == password of your alias db for the subsystem. This can be noted from
`/var/lib/pki-ca/conf/password.conf` and provide the value from this directive
internal=392978483900

(internal == internal NSS token db)

I believe they're explained in the 'Usage' when you run PKCS12Export on command line.

hope that helps
