Openssl Generate Public Key From P12

  • This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL public keys from their private keys.
  • Keys are generated in PEM or OpenSSH format.
  • The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library. By default, it tries to detect which one is available. This can be overridden with the select_crypto_backend option. When format is OpenSSH, the cryptography backend has to be used. Please note that the PyOpenSSL backend was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13.”

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Either cryptography >= 1.2.3 (older versions might work as well)
  • Or pyOpenSSL >= 16.0.0
  • Needs cryptography >= 1.4 if format is OpenSSH
ParameterChoices/DefaultsComments
attributes
string
The attributes the resulting file or directory should have.
To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system.
This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr.
The = operator is assumed as default, otherwise + or - operators need to be included in the string.
backup
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • yes
Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original public key back if you overwrote it with a different one by accident.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Should the key be regenerated even it it already exists.
format
string
    Choices:
  • OpenSSH
  • PEM
group
Name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
mode
string
The permissions the resulting file or directory should have.
For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like 0644 or 01777) or quote it (like '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number.
Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.
As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r).
As of Ansible 2.6, the mode may also be the special string preserve.
When set to preserve the file will be given the same permissions as the source file.
owner
string
Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
path
path / required
Name of the file in which the generated TLS/SSL public key will be written.
privatekey_passphrase
string
The passphrase for the private key.
privatekey_path
path
Path to the TLS/SSL private key from which to generate the public key.
select_crypto_backend
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • cryptography
  • pyopenssl
Determines which crypto backend to use.
The default choice is auto, which tries to use cryptography if available, and falls back to pyopenssl.
If set to pyopenssl, will try to use the pyOpenSSL library.
If set to cryptography, will try to use the cryptography library.
selevel
string
Default:
The level part of the SELinux file context.
This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the range.
When set to _default, it will use the level portion of the policy if available.
serole
string
When set to _default, it will use the role portion of the policy if available.
setype
string
When set to _default, it will use the type portion of the policy if available.
seuser
string
By default it uses the system policy, where applicable.
When set to _default, it will use the user portion of the policy if available.
state
string
    Choices:
  • absent
Whether the public key should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated.
unsafe_writes
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target file.
By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner.
This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes).
IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.
  1. Mar 03, 2020 This page explains how to generate public/private key pairs using OpenSSL command-line tools. Device authentication. Cloud IoT Core uses public key (or asymmetric) authentication: The device uses a private key to sign a JSON Web Token (JWT). The token is passed to Cloud IoT Core as proof of the device's identity.
  2. Jun 19, 2015  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. Breaking down the command: openssl – the command for executing OpenSSL.

This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL public keys from their private keys. Keys are generated in PEM or OpenSSH format. The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library. Then, to generate the csr demanded by the CA, I've executed the following: openssl req -new -key myKey.pem -out cert.csr The CA responded with a certificate which I stored in a file named myCert.cer. I'd now like to bundle the necessary components (private key, public key(?) and certificate) into a single.p12. To do so I've run the following. Nov 29, 2018  This doesn't manifest when certutil is used as certutil ca to generate the CA first and then used with certutil cert -ca ca.p12 to generate the certificates in the PKCS#12 (i.e. The reason is that elastic-certificates.p12 doesn't contain the.

Openssl Generate Public Key From Pfx

OpenSSL provides read different type of certificate and encoding formats. OpenSSL supports certificate formats like RSA, X509, PCKS12 etc. We will look how to read these certificate formats with OpenSSL.

RSA is popular format use to create asymmetric key pairs those named public and private key. We can use rsa verb to read RSA private key with the following command.

We can see that the first line of command output provides RSA key ok

Another case reading certificate with OpenSSL is reading and printing X509 certificates to the terminal. We will use x509 version with the following command.

X509 certificates also holds information about the purpose of the cerficate. This will be beneficial while using certificate to learn the creation aim of the certificate. We can print certificate purpose with the -purpose command like below.

We can read and print web sites HTTPS certificates with the s_client verb which is explained in this tutorial. We can print the SSL/TLS X509 certificate with the following command.

We can also read and print PKCS12 files which can be used store keys and related information. We will use pkcs12 verb like below.

Certificate signing requests are used to create required request in order to sign our certificate from certificate authority. After creating a Certificate Signing Request we should check the CSR with the following command where we can see all information provided by CSR.
