Convert PFX SSL Certificate
Mcrosoft Azure App Certificate is used to secure Azure App Services, now they allow export of this SSL certificate in PFX format, so it can be used in other services like Azure VM or third party applications. You need to use a powershell script provided by Microsoft to do the Export.
To use the SSL certficiate in FPX format in Apache or Nginx web server, you need to convert it.
To do this, run
|
1 |
openssl pkcs12 -in ssl.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem |
It will ask for Import password. If you enter a password during pfx file creation, enter it. If not just press enter.
Next it ask for PEM password, enter a password, with out password, it won’t work.
We have key.pem, that is password protected, we need to remove key file with out password, for this, run
|
1 |
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out key-no-pw.key |
To export certificate file from PFX file, run
|
1 |
openssl pkcs12 -in ssl.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem |
