I am using Mac OS X. I have the following files
key.rtf
cert.rtf
These files are PEM encoded and contain the key and the certificate in text form (-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----).
How can I:
decrypt the private key with the passphrase I used to encrypt it and get it back in text form?
get both files in PEM format as text (!) back?
The PEM encoding makes problems - if the files are stored as .key, .cert or anything like this, it works properly. But I need the text.
Thanks!
It is possible with this command: openssl rsa -in cert.pem -out server.key (I converted the files to a cert.pem file before).

I am currently developing a mini-program for Vodapay and I need to generate the RSA key pairs to be able to sign my requests to the Vodapay backend.
Is there a recommended method or suggested tools I should use in order to generate my public-private key-pair for my VodaPay mini-program?
I managed to figure this out, the keys need to be generated through open SSL and they need to be stored as a .pem file
The bash commands required to get the keys are as follows, it will create the keys
Create RSA 2048 Keysopenssl genrsa -out rsa_2048_key.pem 2048
Export Public Keyopenssl rsa -in rsa_2048_key.pem -out rsa_public_key.pem -pubout
Export Private Key with PKCS#8 Encodeopenssl pkcs8 -topk8 -in rsa_2048_key.pem -out rsa_private_key.pem -nocrypt
I am looking for ruby code to mimic below openssl smime encryption. I looked up other related topics but mostly were around signing. In snippet below cert.pem is a PEM-encoded X.509 certificate containing the PEM public key. token.txt file is the file to be encrypted.
openssl smime -encrypt -out encrypted.p7m -in token.txt cert.pem
Figured it.
token_plain_text = File.read("/path/to/token.txt")
cert = X509::Certificate.new("/path/to/cert.pem")
encrypted_object = OpenSSL::PKCS7.encrypt([cert], token_plain_text)
Got the encrypted string by outputting above object to string.
encrypted_str = encrypted_object.to_str
I am new to SSL/OpenSSL and I'm working on Windows 7. I'm trying to configure HTTPS for my ElasticBeanstalk environment following these instructions.
I'm at Step 2 in "Create a Private Key". After I issue the command to generate the key pair:
openssl genrsa 2048 > privatekey.pem
I get:
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus

unable to write 'random state'
e is 65537 (0x10001)
However, it does write a key to my directory. But after the second command:
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out csr.pem
I get:
unable to load Private Key
6312:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:647:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY
I've tried Googling this a bit, but none of the solutions I've found seem to be relevant for me. I checked the generated key and it looks like
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
{lots of characters}
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
What am I doing incorrectly?

I ran your commands on OS X, and I could not reproduce the results.
I did use the -config option because I have an "OpenSSL server config template" that makes it easy to generate CSRs and self signed certificates:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out csr.pem -config example-com.conf
The configuration file is named example-com.conf, and you can find it at How do I edit a self signed certificate created using openssl xampp?. Edit it to suit your taste (in particular, the DNS names).
If interested, here's the OpenSSL man pages on the req sub-command.
I checked the generated key and it looks like
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- {lots of characters}
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
You can validate the key you just created with:
$ openssl rsa -in privatekey.pem -inform PEM -text -noout

unable to write 'random state'
This is a well known problem. OpenSSL uses a default configuration file. You can locate the configuration file with correct location of openssl.cnf file.
The default configuration file includes these lines:
$ cat /usr/local/ssl/macosx-x64/openssl.cnf
...
HOME = .
RANDFILE = $ENV::HOME/.rnd
...
To save the random file, you should point HOME and RANDFILE to a valid location. On Windows, you type set HOME=... and set RANDFILE=... in the command prompt. Or better, change it in the OpenSSL configuration file you use.
Also see How to fix “unable to write 'random state' ” in openssl and How do I make OpenSSL write the RANDFILE on Windows Vista?.
I'm trying to configure HTTPS for my ElasticBeanstalk environment following these instructions.
The instructions are wrong in the image below. Do not place a DNS name in the Common Name (CN).
Placing a DNS name in the Common Name is deprecated by both the IETF (the folks who publish RFCs) and the CA/B Forums (the cartel where browsers and CAs collude). You should pay articular attention to what the CA/B recommends because Browsers and CAs come up with those rules, and the browsers follow them (and they don't follow the RFCs). For reference, see RFC 5280, RFC 6125 and the CA/B Baseline Requirements.
Instead, place DNS names in the Subject Alternate Name (SAN). Both the IETF and CA/B specifies it.
The custom OpenSSL configuration file handles this for you. You just have to change the DNS names listed under the section [ alternate_names ]. For example, here's a set of names set up for the domain example.com. Notice there is no DNS name in the CN:
[ subject ]
...
commonName = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default = Example Company
[ alternate_names ]
DNS.1 = example.com
DNS.2 = www.example.com
DNS.3 = mail.example.com
DNS.4 = ftp.example.com
Can you check if you have appropriate permissions when you run both the commands? Maybe try doing the same using a user with Admin Rights.
Also make sure the created file privatekey.pem has appropriate permissions before executing the command below (Use chmod if necessary)
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out csr.pem

I believe the root of the problem is the error
unable to write 'random state'
e is 65537 (0x10001)
Searching StackOverflow found these results. I would stress that you run the openssl program as sudo or directly as root to avoid any possible permissions issues.

I have this files:
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
STAR_mydomain_com.crt
TrustedSecureCertificateAuthority5.crt
USERTrustRSAAddTrustCA.crt
domain.key
domain.key is passphrase protected and it was generated during creation of CSR files (files that were required to get .crt files from certificate provider. I tried:
heroku certs:update certs/STAR_mydomain_com.crt certs/domain.key
But I get following error:
! No valid, non-passphrase-protected keys given.
How I can generate valid crt/key for heroku? (I tried all other crt files with domain key but they are not valid domain certificates.
domain.key was generated with following command:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out domain.key 2048
Here's how to remove a passphrase from a private key:
openssl rsa -in certs/domain.key -out certs/domain-nopassphrase.key
You'll need to enter the current passphrase on the private key. If prompted for a passphrase on the new key, do not enter one (just press enter).
You can then update your SSL endpoint using your cert + this new key:
heroku certs:update certs/*.crt certs/domain-nopassphrase.key
I'm trying to convert a P12 file to a PEM file. When I execute the command, the terminal asks me for three things:
P12 passphrase (I type it in, hit enter)
PEM passphrase (type it in, hit enter)
PEM passphrase confirm (type it in, hit enter)
I know I can execute a sudo command all in one shot by using the following:
echo sudopassword | sudo rm -rf /file.p12;
How can I add all three values in one shot? Thanks
Can you explain what these P12 files are? I found this link which deals with the conversion of pkcs12 Cert/key files to .PEM format using openssl. (http://gridsite.org)
Key to the answer is:
Use -passin file:... and -passout file:... for unattended processing
It's my guess that you will have to specify the -passin file:P12passphrase and -passout file PEMpassphrase options for this case.
This little test confirms how an input passphrase can be specified through a file:<...> parameter. This helps to hide such phrases from any over the shoulder attacks. Don't forget to restrict access to such files. Even though it's a common feature of most openssl commands, it's not explicitly mentioned and it is key to the original question. The full list of options is below.
$ openssl pkcs12 -passin file:P12phrase
Can't open file P12phrase
Error getting passwords
(I leave it to the OP to construct the full command.)
Below are all supported options for the pkcs12 subcommand:

-in infile input filename
-out outfile output filename
-noout don't output anything, just verify.
-nomacver don't verify MAC.
-nocerts don't output certificates.

-password p set import/export password source
-passin p input file pass phrase source
-passout p output file pass phrase source
-engine e use engine e, possibly a hardware device.
-rand file:file:...

-CSP name Microsoft CSP name
-LMK Add local machine keyset attribute to private key
It's unlikely that these commands are reading from stdin. It's more likely that they're reading directly from the terminal. This allows them to set a mode that doesn't echo the password to the screen. Try echoing your input to /dev/tty.
Beyond that, you'll need to use something like expect / pexect to control these. Those projects were build specifically for this purpose.
Openssl has a -stdin optoin to read its input from stdin. This works:
tmp=`mktemp`
cat > $tmp <<EOF
$1
EOF
cat $tmp | openssl req -out CSR.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout privateKey.key
I've used cat and a here-document to avoid putting the password on the commandline.
I used openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out sampleCore.pem -nodes and it was working for me.
Have you tried just echoing three lines? It would probably work
echo $'P12 passphrase\nPEM passphrase\nPEM passphrase confirm' | cmd
Although I feel I must point out that echoing passwords like this is highly insecure. Not only does the password end up in your bash history file, but it's also visible to anyone else on the system who runs ps.
