Hi David, I've tried the following command, but it failed to load cert:
$ openssl x509 -outform PEM -inform usercert.pem -pubkey bad input format specified for Certificate unable to load certificate Thanks, Janet On 5/3/07, David Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Kyle, Thanks for the prompt response. But I think my problem is my project doesn't want to produce the public key from openssl rsa command, because we need to get the public key in the rsa PEM format at the time when we issued the certificate and upload it to our production database. And the CA doesn't have a copy of the user private key to generate this openssl rsa public key. So we need somehow to be able to get the rsa public key from the user certificate. Have any ideas? The command "openssl rsa -pubin -in rsa.public -noout -text" will only work if I generte the rsa public key using by private key. Thanks, Janet I think you want: openssl x509 -outform pem -inform <whatever> -pubkey This will output the public key in PEM format given the certificate as input. If you'd prefer to process the certificate request, the 'req' command also has a '-pubkey' option. DS
