Jun 05, 2012 This video describe how to generate an RSA private key and certification x509 to be used in Wakansa, to secure communication. How to generate key and cert using openSSL. Openssl pkcs12 -in yourfile.pfx -nocerts -out keyfile-encrypted.key What this command does is extract the private key from the.pfx file. Once entered you need to type in the importpassword of the.pfx file. This is the password that you used to protect your keypair when you created your.pfx.

| :: download OpenSSL if you don't have it for the below |
| :: Conver the p7b into PEM format |
| openssl pkcs7 -in mydomain.p7b -print_certs -out mydomain.pem |
| :: Combine this with the crt server certificate and private key into a PFX |
| openssl pkcs12 -export -in mydomain.crt -inkey mydomain.key -certfile mydomain.pem -out mydomain.pfx |

The .key file should be obtainable from the certificate request which you have created for Godaddy. For that, you will need a Windows Server with IIS installed on it, go to Server Management, select 'Internet Information Services' from Tools, and create a certificate request. Then, in Microsoft Management Console you will be able to see this request among the certificates, in the 'Certificate Enrolment Requests' group. (How to generate certificate request and export private key) When you're done with all of this, you will have a certificate request which you can provide to Godaddy to generate your certificate and a private key file which will match this certificate. The key will likely be in .pfx format, and you'll need to convert it into .pem or .key. It doesn't need PuTTY. It is actually fairly simple, if you know what to type. Type 'ssh-keygen'. Open a Git Bash prompt. |
