hello,
i just subscribed to this list and am not sure whether i probably hit
the wrong list.
If so i apologise ...
but now the question
I need to create a certificate request with encrypted, password
protected pkcs8-key and a cert request in PEM format.
(that is usually generated from the BEA WL6 console for which the Cert
later is meant - but I'd rather use openssl for it)
What I tried is this:
$OSSL req -newkey rsa:1024 -passout pass:$PW -passin pass:$PW -keyout
~/cert-requests/$CN-key.pw -keyform DER -out ~/cert-requests/$CN-req.csr
-outform PEM -config ~/cert-requests/ossl.conf.tmp
(
and also
encrypt_key = yes
in ossl.conf.tmp
)
However it refuses to give me an DER key but still generates a
pem-format key
(
file www.test.com-key.pw
www.test.com-key.pw: ascii text
)
I can convert the key to DER-format
openssl rsa -in www.test.com-key.pw -outform DER -passout pass:$PW -out
www.test.de-key.der
but then the Password seems to be gone
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
openssl:
