3.5. Converting the PFX file
Before you store the PFX (PKCS#12) file into the smart card, you must:
- Convert the file to the PEM format
- Extract the private key and the certificate to two different files
Prerequisites
- The PFX file is copied into the IdM client machine.
Procedure
On the IdM client, convert the file into the PEM format:
[root@idmclient1 ~]# openssl pkcs12 -in aduser1.pfx -out aduser1_cert_only.pem -clcerts -nodes Enter Import Password:Extract the key into the separate file:
[root@idmclient1 ~]# openssl pkcs12 -in adduser1.pfx -nocerts -out adduser1.pem > aduser1.keyExtract the public certificate into the separate file:
[root@idmclient1 ~]# openssl pkcs12 -in adduser1.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out aduser1_cert_only.pem > aduser1.crtAt this point, you can store the
aduser1.keyandaduser1.crtinto the smart card.
