Re: Importing private key into certificate store

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Or since you have 2 PEM files, you can use openssl to convert it into PKCS#12 file:

% openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.pem -inkey key.pem -out cert.p12 -name \"Server-Cert\" -passout pass:foo

You can then import that into your database with something like:

% pk12util -i cert.p12 -d <server-root>/alias -P slapd-YOURHOST- -W foo

Replace <server-root> with the path to your DS install, probably /opt/fedora-ds. Check the alias directory to see what the value of YOURHOST should be. Note that the trailing dash is important.

You need to get your CA to export your key/cert data in pkcs12 (.p12) format, then use the FDS pk12util to import both the key and cert.

Hello,

I would like to use an external application to handle my certificate request
(I'm using self-signed certificates - essentially my CA application would
generate the request and then sign it, instead of using any of the FDS
components to generate the request). This process works fine, except that
there doesn't appear to be an easy way to get the private key for the
certificate into the certificate store. Obviously, if you use the certificate wizard or certutil to generate the request, the key ends up in the store. But if you don't, is there a way to import a key, so that importing a certificate will work? Currently it balks about importing a signed certificate because the private key is missing. I tried combining key and certificate into one file
(PEM format) but that didn't help.
