This guide will show you how to convert a .pfx certificate file into its separate public certificate and private key files. This can be useful if you want to export a certificate (in the pfx format) from a Windows server, and load it into Apache or Nginx for example, which requires a separate public certificate and private key file.
In the examples below, the following files will be used:
domain.name.pfx – This will be the PFX file containing the public certificate and private key.
domain.name.crt – This is the public certificate file outputted by OpenSSL.
domain.name.key – This is the private encryption key for the above certificate outputted by OpenSSL.
Extracting the public certificate from the pfx file

Enter in the password for the PFX file when asked. You cant export the certificate or key if you don’t have this password.
You will now have the public certificate file (eg: domain.name.crt).
Extracting the private key from the pfx file

Check point 1450 ssh rsa key generation. The advice was not to disable the selinux. That does not mean that it should be done. That sentence has really got misinterpreted badly.

Enter in the password for the PFX file when asked. You cant export the certificate or key if you don’t have this password.

I have generated a.csr and.key file to send to dynadot (which sends that to AlphaSSL) with this command: openssl req -out foo.com.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout foo.com.key It had asked me for confirmation and I received apparently an intermediate chain certificate, however I just placed it in foo.com.crt and it worked fine on my. The certificate is made out of your public key. The public and private keys are completely separate (by definition) and you can't generate one from the other. How was this new.crt file generated? There just has to be a key file and a CSR somewhere! – Alexios Jan 7 '14 at 10:00. Reasons for importing keys include wanting to make a backup of a private key (generated keys are non-exportable, for security reasons), or if the private key is provided by an external source. This document will guide you through using the OpenSSL command line tool to generate a key pair which you can then import into a YubiKey.
