Importing an IIS .pfx file certificate into Apache

MWahl | April 3, 2010 | 9:39 pm

To export the private key from the Windows IIS server to your non-windows-based machine, you must extract the private key from a Windows .pfx backup certificate. Use the OpenSSL utility to extract the private key from the .pfx backup file:

  1. First backup the certificate you have working on your IIS server to a .pfx file.
  2. Second, use the following OpenSSL command to create a new text file from which you can separate the Private Key:openssl pkcs12 -in mypfxfile.pfx -out outputfile.txt -nodes

    mypfxfile.pfx is the certificate backup from your IIS server.

  3. The above command would have created a text file named outputfile.txt. Open this file with a text editor and you will see the private key listed first:-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    (Block of Random Text)
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  4. Copy and paste all of the private key, including the BEGIN and END tags to a new text file and save it as domain_name.key
