Exporting the Private key and Public Key from IIS
Usually when a SSL key is being backed up you will have both private key and public key exported as one key with a .pfx extension. We may need to separate them in case we are going to change the Web server from IIS to apache.
Extracting the Private key and Cert file using openssl command
-
Step 1: Exporting the private key file from the pfx file
openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem
where filename.pfx is the filename of the .pfx file that you explorted from IIS. -
Step 2: Exporting the certificate file from the pfx file
openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem -
Step 3: Removing the passphrase from the private key so that you will not be prompted for passphrase when Apache is started.
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key
Thankyou so much...
