Resolution
Steps:
Step1: Generate pk12 certificate
- Install openSSL with Windows operating system using cygwin as documented below:
https://www.ssl.com/how-to/install-openssl-on-windows-with-cygwin/ - Open cygwin terminal and enter command in below format:
keytool -genkey -alias mykeypair -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keystore mykeypair.p12 -keysize 2048 -storetype pkcs12 -validity 356 -dname "CN=SF Admin, OU=Cloud Operations, O=successfactors.com, C=US"
Note: In above example:- certificate name is mykeypair.p12
- validity is 356 days
- All parameters under -dname can be filled based on your detail. More info on description can be found here under point 3: LINK
- Execution of above command would prompt you for password which should be of minimum 6 characters
Step 2: Convert p12 keystore to PEM file
- Execute $ openssl pkcs12 -in mykeypair.p12 -out mykeypair.pem -nodes
- Enter password and press enter
Step 3: Display X509 keypair
- Execute $ cat mykeypair.pem
Note that mykeypair.p12 and mykeypair.pem certificate would be available in your Cygwin folder as you see below:
