Good day!

I am trying to extract my private key from a file downloaded from Thawtes "Personal Freemail" certificate service. (Thawte creates the private key for the user to simplify the process).

The file (with the meaningfull name deliver.exe) seems to be a Netscape Certificate Sequence in DER format. After some basic steps to convert it to PEM openssl nseq can convert it into a sequence of three PEM encoded certificates. The first one being my own certificate. I can view each of these 3 extracted certificates with openssl x509 but it seems my private key gets lost in the conversion process.

I am running out of ideas... Any hits? Anyone else using Thawte "Personal Freemail" certificates?

Best regards,
Joachim
