This is take straight from http://devsec.org/info/ssl-cert.html. I’m getting it on my blog, as a reference to myself, so I can make a key pair quickly in the future.
Is it possible to create a pfx file without import password? Yes, it is possible: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout PrivateKey.pem -out Cert.pem -days 365 -nodes openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyStore.p12 -inkey PrivateKey.pem -in Cert.pem Or is it possible to remove the import password from pfx file that I've already created? I'm using openssl to sign files, it works but I would like the private key file is encrypted with a password. These are the commands I'm using, I would like to know the equivalent commands using a.
- Jun 28, 2012 If you find yourself needing to change the password on your private key without affecting the data that's already stored in your database, here's how to do it. The OpenSSL documentation is a little dense on this topic, but these step-by-step instructions should work.
- Generate OpenSSL RSA Key Pair from the Command Line. If you select a password for your private key, its file will be encrypted with your password. Be sure to remember this password or the key pair becomes useless. It is not just one iPhone, the FBI wants a future where it is impractical to deploy strong encryption without key escrow.
Make a new ssl private key:
* Generate a new unencrypted rsa private key in PEM format:
openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
You can create an encrypted key by adding the -des3 option.

To make a self-signed certificate:
To make a self-signed certificate:
* Create a certificate signing request (CSR) using your rsa private key:
openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out certreq.csr
( This is also the type of CSR you would create to send to a root CA for them to sign for you. )
Private Key Definition
* Self-sign your CSR with your own private key:
Openssl Genrsa No Password
openssl x509 -req -in certreq.csr -signkey privkey.pem -out newcert.pem
