PEM from and to P12
Convert between PEM and P12
PEM
It is an ASCII format and can be opened with a text editor. It is used by most SSL-based tools. Key and certificate are two separate files.
P12
Acutally: Pkcs12 is used by most browsers. Key and certificate are in one file.
PEM to P12
The key and the certificate are require.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in usercert.pem -inkey userkey.pem -out bundle.p12
P12 to PEM
openssl pkcs12 -in bundle.p12 -out userkey.pem -nodes -clcerts
The resulting file contains both the key and certificate. Use a text editor to split into two files again.
