#OPENSSL CONVERTING PEM CERT TO PFX PASSWORD#

To use the SSL Converter, just select your certificate file and its current type (it. I do not know how these certificates are used. pfx files while an Apache server uses individual PEM (.crt. This may or may not be correct depending on what you need. You requested extraction only of client certificates (-clcerts option) but placed the result in trusted root store.

Programs that only work with certificates will probably ignore keys in this file that are password protected.īut as I mentioned, PFX container can include arbitrary number of certificates. PEM file can include multiple objects (certificates and keys). Again we have no way to know what you did.Īgain - certificate has no password. The result will be encrypted using “PEM pass phrase”.Īnd the password I used while decoding is not actualĪs can be seen there may be at least two passwords. But if it contained private key, “openssl pkcs12” command should have asked you for key password, like $ openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -clcerts -out clcerts.pem We do not know what your PFX file contained and you did not show any output of your command.

PKCS#12 (or PFX) is container that can contain arbitrary number of certificates or private keys. It demands a password to unlock the cert.Ĭertificates are not encrypted (that defeats the very purpose of certificate). You put it as quote so it disappeared when answering so I cannot comment on it.

How is this PFX container related to PEM certificate you mentioned initially?Īnd please, always place computer code between. You said you have PEM certificate but now you show how you convert PFX container. Is it okay to use the GUI to import the certificate (and what password do I need then?) Or better to use a terminal commands?Īnyway, I used the combo with sudo cp *.pem /etc/pki/trust/anchorsīut not sure if it’s okay because the cert’s password was not asked. And the password I used while decoding is not actual (I used the same password everywhere pasting it) It looks like it can be imported there (“Import” button persists) but it demands a password to unlock the cert. But after that I’m trying to open it by double-clicking the file and use KDE GUI. openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -clcerts -out cert.pem If you can extract the cert in PEM format curl should be able to use it. PFX is another name for a pkcs12 container. You can use the openssl command to convert nearly any certificate format to another. This format is not supported by default, so I used this way to convert it to.
