enumerate certificates in pkcs12 and get their expiration date - shell

I want to list certificates from .p12 file and then use openssl x509 -enddate to output their expiration date. Here is my command:
openssl pkcs12 -in /download/key.p12 -nokeys -passin pass:"123456"
-clcerts | openssl x509 -enddate
However, it just stopped after processing the first certificates, but in key.p12, there are other certificates and I want to know them all.
Is there a good way to browse all certificates and then get all of their expiration date?

Openssl stops working when generating pkcs#12 with friendly name

I'm currently working on generating a certificate & private key and trying to import it in a pkcs#12 file, however when i try to generate it, i had a error from OpenSSL. For my tests, i have to insert a friendly name to my privatekey when the p12 is generating. Here under some details :
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
openssl pkcs12 -export -in server.crt -inkey server.key -out server.p12 -name "otto"
After this last command, i enter the server.key passphrase, enter an export password, and after that, a window appears informing that OpenSSL crashed...
I already searched for solutions, but found nothing usefull, does anyone have an idea ?
Thank you for your help

cURL with a PKCS#12 certificate in a bash script

i have to connect to a webservice, where a pkcs12 certificate is a must. the idea was to use curl in a bash script (under OS X, to be specific).
i have learnt that one of the few things curl cannot do in communication, is handling pkcs12 certificates (.p12). what are my options?
i have read that converting the certificate to PEM format would work (using openssl), however i have no idea how to tell curl that it gets a PEM and should communicate with a webservice requesting PKCS12 certificates.
converting pkcs12 to pem would be done like this (e.g.), it worked for me, however i haven't successfully used them with curl:
openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.p12 -out file.key.pem -nocerts -nodes
openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.p12 -out file.crt.pem -clcerts -nokeys
any hints? or, any alternatives to curl? the solution should be commandline based.
I think you have already resolved but I had the same problem. I answer to share my solution.
If you have a .p12 file your approach is right.
First of all, you have to get the cert and the key separated from the p12 file.
As an example, if you have a mycert.p12 file execute
openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.p12 -out file.key.pem -nocerts -nodes
openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.p12 -out file.crt.pem -clcerts -nokeys
Then you have to make the call to your url. For instance, assume that you want to get the WSDL of a specific web service
curl -E ./file.crt.pem --key ./file.key.pem https://myservice.com/service?wsdl
If the files file.crt.pem and file.key.pem are in your working folder "./" is mandatory.
Check if you have a newer curl. Newer versions can handle PKCS12 outright.
Tangentially, quote the password, or individually escape all shell metacharacters.
curl --cert-type P12 --cert cert.p12:'password' https://yoursite.com
bioffes answer is correct.
He was suggesting to do:
curl --cert-type P12 --cert cert.p12:password https://yoursite.com
For some reason that didn't work for me. I was getting:
curl could not open PKCS12 file
I just ended up exporting the p12 file without a password and ended up just using the following format.
curl --cert-type P12 --cert cert.p12 https://yoursite.com
You can easily check to see if your curl can handle p12. Very likely it does. Just do man curl and scroll down til you find the cert-type. Mine was like this:
--cert-type <type>
(TLS) Tells curl what type the provided client certificate is using. PEM, DER, ENG and P12 are recognized types. If not specified, PEM is assumed.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
(I don't believe cmmd + F works to text not visible in the terminal. So you have to scroll down.

Can't convert .p12 to .pem with openSSL

After running this:
openssl pkcs12 -in path.p12 -out newfile.crt.pem -clcerts -nokeys
I get prompted with the option descriptions.
After running this
openssl pkcs12 -in path.p12 -out newfile.key.pem -nocerts -nodes
I get prompted with "Enter Import Password:". What is this import password? I tried the one I set from the firefox backup and it responded with "Mac verify error: invalid password?". I'm sure that the password is correct because I tested it by importing it again into firefox.
I got the commands from the answer to this question!
I experienced the same thing too. Try to put the password in the command line like this. It works for me:
openssl pkcs12 -in path.p12 -out newfile.key.pem -nocerts -nodes -password pass:<mypassword>

Automatic generation of an x509 certificate by OpenSSL

I need to automate X509 SSL certificate generation in a bash script (without prompt any strings to console).
I generate an SSL key and cert request automatically, but I can not automatize certificate generation without promt password.
This commands works without prompt:
openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:passwd -out testem/2.key 1024
openssl req -new -passin pass:passwd -subj "/" -key testem/2.key -out testem/2.csr
This command requests input password:
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in testem/2.csr -signkey testem/2.key -out testem/2.crt
I can't find the option "-passout" in the manual of the command "x509".
What can be done?
You need to supply the password. Like this for example.
openssl x509 -passin pass:passwd -req -days 365 -in testem/2.csr -signkey testem/2.key -out testem/2.crt

How can I build a Safari extension package from the command line?

Instead of going to Extension Builder > Build Packageā€¦, I'd like to built a .safariextz package from the MyExtension.safariextension folder.
I know I can unpack an extension with xar -xf. I suspect the way back involves packing it with xar, but then I'll need to do the code signing thing, which may or may not involve codesign(1).
Here are Omar Ismail's instructions, omitting the need for separate shell scripts. This will all occur in a directory safari/, where we will be signing the directory safari/appname.safariextension/ to become the extension safari/appname.safariextz. The first thing is to sign the extension the official way, with Extension Builder's Build Package.
Set up Xar:
1. Download and unzip/untar
https://github.com/downloads/mackyle/xar/xar-1.6.1.tar.gz
to wherever you want the executable xar-1.6.1 (xar 1.6dev doesn't support the options we need)
2. in xar-1.6.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /full/path/to/xar-1.6.1/src/xar /usr/local/bin/xar161
Set up your certificates:
1. in safari/
mkdir certs/
xar161 -f appname.safariextz --extract-certs certs/
2. open Keychain Access and export your Safari Developer certificate to safari/certs/certs.p12 (use a blank password for certs.p12, and then use your Mac's password to export the cert)
3. in safari/certs/
openssl pkcs12 -in certs.p12 -nodes | openssl x509 -outform der -out cert.der
(same blank password)
openssl pkcs12 -in certs.p12 -nodes | openssl rsa -out key.pem
(same blank password)
openssl dgst -sign key.pem -binary < key.pem | wc -c > size.txt
It's possible that you can get the certificates from certs/cert.p12, and not need the --extract-certs step (and hence not need the extension built the official way), but I don't know openssl well enough, and it's only for the set up that you need that step anyway.
Once everything is set up, to sign the extension:
In safari/
xar161 -czf appname.safariextz --distribution appname.safariextension/
xar161 --sign -f appname.safariextz --digestinfo-to-sign digest.dat --sig-size `cat certs/size.txt` --cert-loc certs/cert.der --cert-loc certs/cert01 --cert-loc certs/cert02
openssl rsautl -sign -inkey certs/key.pem -in digest.dat -out sig.dat
xar161 --inject-sig sig.dat -f appname.safariextz
rm -f sig.dat digest.dat
This was all on a 2006 Snow Leopard MacBook, so it's possible things may be different on a machine that's more up to date.
Looks like there is a way to patch XAR with a signature option. http://code.google.com/p/xar/issues/detail?id=76#c0
