Converting Pfx To Pem Using Openssl

Answer : Another perspective for doing it on Linux... here is how to do it so that the resulting single file contains the decrypted private key so that something like HAProxy can use it without prompting you for passphrase. openssl pkcs12 -in file.pfx -out file.pem -nodes Then you can configure HAProxy to use the file.pem file. This is an EDIT from previous version where I had these multiple steps until I realized the -nodes option just simply bypasses the private key encryption. But I'm leaving it here as it may just help with teaching. openssl pkcs12 -in file.pfx -out file.nokey.pem -nokeys openssl pkcs12 -in file.pfx -out file.withkey.pem openssl rsa -in file.withkey.pem -out file.key cat file.nokey.pem file.key > file.combo.pem The 1st step prompts you for the password to open the PFX. The 2nd step prompts you for that plus also to make up a passphrase for the key. The 3rd step prompts you to enter the passphrase you just made up to store decrypted. The 4th puts it all t...
