Convert SSL pfSense Key to RSA Key

I don’t use this anymore, but kept the instructions here for future reference

Source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17733536/how-do-i-convert-a-private-key-to-an-rsa-private-key

I had to convert some SSL certificates and keys that pfSense created so they could be used on FreeNAS:

1
openssl rsa -in server.key -out server_rsa.key

I could then combine the block of:

1
2
3
4
5
6
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

And paste them in to FreeNAS’

    • SSL
      • SSL Certificate
