I do not know if I explained well, i have a .pem with a private key inside
like this.
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
and i need to convert it to .p12
do i need a certificate aswell?
technically, no, the standard allows for storing just the key in the
PKCS#12
file
that being said, I can imagine many implementations tripping over such
files
if you have a private key in "localhost.key" you can convert it to a
PKCS#12
file using the following command:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out file.p12 -inkey localhost.key -nocerts -keypbe
aes-128-cbc -passout pass:password
I have tried what you suggest:
$ openssl req -x509 -subj /CN=foo -keyout /dev/null -nodes | openssl pkcs12
-out x.p12 -export -nokeys
