Common OpenSSL Commands with Keys and Certificates
Reasons for importing keys include wanting to make a backup of a private key (generated keys are non-exportable, for security reasons), or if the private key is provided by an external source. This document will guide you through using the OpenSSL command line tool to generate a key pair which you can then import into a YubiKey. Creating a.pem with the Private Key and Entire Trust Chain Log into your DigiCert Management Console and download your Intermediate (DigiCertCA.crt) and Primary Certificates (yourdomainname.crt). Open a text editor (such as wordpad) and paste the entire body.
Generate RSA private key with certificate in a single command
Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from private key with passphrase
Generate RSA private key (2048 bit)
Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Generate RSA private key (2048 bit) and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) with a single command
Convert private key to PEM format
Generate a self-signed certificate that is valid for a year with sha256 hash
Find the private key file (xxx.key) (previously generated along with the CSR).
Download the .p7b file on your certificate status page ('See the certificate' button then 'See the format in PKCS7 format' and click the link next to the diskette).
a) Convert this file into a text one (PEM):
On Windows, the OpenSSL command must contain the complete path, for example: c:openssl-win32binopenssl.exe .)
b) Now create the pkcs12 file that will contain your private key and the certification chain:
Generate public private key pair mac os x. You will be asked to define an encryption password for the archive (it is mandatory to be able to import the file in IIS). You may also be asked for the private key password if there is one!
You can now use the file file final_result.p12 in any software that accepts pkcs12! For IIS, rename the file in .pfx, it will be easier. Crypto key generate rsa cisco 4500.
