How to Import a .PFX File to a ProxySG Keyring

Products

• ProxySG Software - SGOS

Issue/Introduction

The certificate and private key exist in a .pfx file, which needs to be converted before importing to the ProxySG keyring.

Resolution

To convert the .pfx file to key.pem (private key) and cert.pem (Certificate), use OpenSSL.

• To extract the private key, run the OpenSSL command: openssl pkcs12 -in <filename>.pfx  -nocerts -out key.pem
• To extract the certificate (public key), run the OpenSSL command: openssl pkcs12 -in <filename>.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem

To import the certificate, see the SGOS Administration Guide.
