I will take another read. $ openssl pkcs12 -export -nodes -CAfile ca-cert.ca \ -in PEM.pem -out "NewPKCSWithoutPassphraseFile" Now you have a new PKCS12 key file without passphrase on the private key part. No other input. (4) Convert PEM Certificate (File and a Private Key) to PKCS # 12 (.pfx #12) openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx-inkey privateKey.key-in certificate.crt-certfile CACert.crt . The .crt file and the decrypted and encrypted .key files are available in the path, where you started OpenSSL. Run the following command to decrypt the private key: openssl rsa -in [drlive.key] -out [drlive-decrypted.key] Type the password that you created to protect the private key file in the previous step. $ openssl rsa -in futurestudio_with_pass.key -out futurestudio.key The documentation for `openssl rsa` explicitly recommends to **not** choose the same input and output filenames. openssl pkcs12 \ -inkey domain.key \ -in domain.crt \ -export -out domain.pfx This will take the private key and the CSR and convert it into a single .pfx file. For the SSL certificate, Java doesn’t understand PEM format, and it supports JKS or PKCS#12.This article shows you how to use OpenSSL to convert the existing pem file and its private key into a single PKCS#12 or .p12 file.. See openssl_csr_new() for more information about configargs. hth. Convert cert.pem and private key key.pem into a single cert.p12 file, key in the key-store-password manually for the .p12 file. openssl pkcs12 -export -name "yourdomain-digicert-(expiration date)" \ -out yourdomain.pfx -inkey yourdomain.key -in yourdomain.crt Note: After you enter the command, you will be asked to provide a password to encrypt the file. passphrase. Debugging Using OpenSSL … $ openssl pkcs12 -in keystoreWithoutPassword.p12 -out tmp.pem Enter Import Password: MAC verified OK Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: 2. As a data point, the way I created the PKCS#12 cert file was by converting the PEM cert and it's key: $ openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.pfx -inkey cert.key.pem -in cert.pem Enter Export Password: Verifying - Enter Export Password: For both of those password lines with the OpenSSL command, I just pressed enter. in OpenSSL Export private key and certificate: pkcs12 -in "C:\your\path\filename.pfx" -out "C:\your\path\cert.pem" Enter Import Password: leave blank Enter PEM pass phrase: 1234 (or anything else) Created cert.pem file will have encrypted private key … configargs can be used to fine-tune the export process by specifying and/or overriding options for the openssl configuration file. To output only the private key, users can add –nocerts or –nokeys to output only the certificates. The key is optionally protected by passphrase.. configargs. In this post, part of our “how to manage SSL certificates on Windows and Linux systems” series, we’ll show how to convert an SSL certificate into the most common formats defined on X.509 standards: the PEM format and the PKCS#12 format, also known as PFX.The conversion process will be accomplished through the use of OpenSSL, a free tool available for Linux and Windows platforms.
