Convert PFX to PEM with Key INCLUDING INTERMEDIATE certificates

17,925

Since you want everything, you just need to reduce the number of restrictions you are asking for.

so:

openssl pkcs12 -in ./GoDaddy.pfx -out ./GoDaddy.pem

If you read the documentation you will see what you are asking for:

-nocerts

No certificates at all will be output.

-clcerts

Only output client certificates (not CA certificates).

-nokeys

No private keys will be output.

-nodes

Don't encrypt the private keys at all.

    I have a PFX that I want to convert to a CRT and Key or PEM and Key to install on an NGINX endpoint. When I import the pfx to my cert store on my windows machine it creates the certificate, the intermediate chain, and the root CA.

    If I take that PFX and run the following openssl commands I and bind it to the endpoint, I don't get all the certificates in the chain:

    openssl pkcs12 -in ./GoDaddy.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out pcc.crt -nodes -nokeys
    
    openssl pkcs12 -in ./GoDaddy.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out pcc.rsa -nodes -nokeys
    

    Is there a switch or command I can run to convert the PFX to a crt / rsa or pem /key with all of the certificates up the chain to the root CA?
