All necessary steps are executed by a single OpenSSL invocation: from private key generation up to the self-signed certificate. Remark #1: Crypto parameters Since the certificate is self-signed and needs to be accepted by users manually, it doesn't make sense to use a short expiration or weak cryptography. Apr 12, 2020 and run: openssl req -x509 Then -newkey rsa:4096 This option basically tells openssl to create both a new private key with RSA 4096-bit key, and its certificate request at the same time. As we’re using -x509 option, it will output. The commands below demonstrate examples of how to create a.pfx/.p12 file in the command line using OpenSSL: PEM (.pem,.crt,.cer) to PFX openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey privateKey.key -in certificate.crt -certfile more.crt.
