Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from private key with passphrase
Mar 30, 2015 This will invoke OpenSSL, instruct it to generate an RSA private key using the DES3 cipher, and send it as an output to a file in the same directory where you ran the command. Hit Enter to generate your private key. You will be informed that your private key is being generated, then prompted for a pass phrase. 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. How to Generate a Self-Signed Certificate and Private Key using OpenSSL Generating a private key and self-signed certificate can be accomplished in a few simple steps using OpenSSL. We provide here detailed instructions on how to create a private key and self-signed certificate valid for 365 days. Create a PKCS#12 keystore from a private key and certificate. OpenSSL is an open source software library that provides the pkcs12 command for generating PKCS#12 files from a private key and a certificate.
