SSL Converter
Convert the Format of Any SSL Certificate
Sometimes, a certificate authority (CA) provides certificate in an unsupported format. Therefore, one needs to convert it into supported format. With the help of OpenSSL commands, you can easily do that.
The following series of OpenSSL commands allows you to convert SSL certificate in various formats on your own machine.
OpenSSL commands to convert PEM file
Convert PEM to DER
openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der
Convert PEM to P7B
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile certificate.cer -out certificate.p7b -certfile CACert.cer
Convert PEM to PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey privateKey.key -in certificate.crt -certfile CACert.crt
OpenSSL commands to convert DER file
Convert DER to PEM
openssl x509 -inform der -in certificate.cer -out certificate.pem
OpenSSL commands to convert P7B file
Convert P7B to PEM
openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in certificate.p7b -out certificate.cer
Convert P7B to PFX
openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in certificate.p7b -out certificate.cer
openssl pkcs12 -export -in certificate.cer -inkey privateKey.key -out certificate.pfx -certfile CACert.cer
OpenSSL commands to convert PFX file
Convert PFX to PEM
openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in certificate.p7b -out certificate.cer
openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.pfx -out certificate.cer -nodes
