I've create self-signed certificate files.
First，created xxx.key file with password,then use xxx.key file to export xxx.p12 file without password.
How can I import p12 via keychain access app,since the app ask password to import p12,but the password used to create xxx.key file won't work.
the export p12 command is like this:
pkcs12 -export -out ./p12/xxxx.p12 -inkey ./keys/xxxx.KEY -in certificates/xxxx.CRT -certfile ../CA/xxxx.CRT
When import p12 enter the password used to create xxx.key file or enter nothing either would not success.
After using the command below to regenerate p12 file and setting the export password,the keychain access app can import the p12 file now when enter the export password.
pkcs12 -export -out ./p12/xxxx.p12 -inkey ./keys/xxxx.KEY -in certificates/xxxx.CRT -certfile ../CA/xxxx.CRT

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?
I am writing a shell script which executes a command which requires a password. I cannot put password in plain text in the script. I read about openssl encrypt decrypt mechanism but for encrypting a file again I need a password which again I cannot put in the script. I am clueless what is the best way to have a script execute a command using a secure password.
After reading about Using OpenSSL to encrypt messages and files on Linux, the following approach might work for you.
Assuming you have private and public key generated for your machine
openssl genrsa -out passwordPrivKey.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in passwordPrivKey.pem -out passwordPubKey.pem -outform PEM -pubout
OpenSSL could be used than to encrypt and decrypt a password. Providing a script stub which will demonstrate how to use the command.
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "password" > PASSWORD.plain
# To encrypt
openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey ./passwordPrivKey.pem -pubin -in PASSWORD.plain -out PASSWORD.dat
# To decrypt
DECRYPTED=$(openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey ./passwordPubKey.pem -in PASSWORD.dat)
echo $DECRYPTED
On the machine where the password is needed unencrypted later, only PASSWORD.dat and passwordPubKey.pem would be stored.

Try openssl. It is a command available on UNIX and it can hash your password for you.
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/apps/openssl.html
It depends on where you execute that script from. If it's a continuous integration tool, there should be way to define a system variable, visible in your script.
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

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.
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>
