I have a .pem file which contains both my certificate and encrypted private key, ie:
Bag Attributes....-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----....-----END CERTIFICATE-----Bag Attributes....-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----....-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----And I need to instead have a .pem file containing both the certificate and the decrypted private key. How can I achieve this on linux, preferrably utilising the openssl application?

To decrypt a private key from a pem file you would do something like this with a subcommand (rsa, pkey, pkcs8, pkcs12):
openssl rsa -in inputfilename -out outputfilenameYour input file is different because you concatenated both keys in one file. But you can simple edit the pem file to split it in 2 files.

I think you need a subcommand in there. Maybe
pkey? Please @ me when you fix it and I'll remove my downvote.Mar 21, 2018 at 19:51

Yes, it should be
pkeyfor new format keys (PKCS8) orrsafor the older PKCS1.Mar 21, 2018 at 21:59

To do it without editing:
openssl x509 <in >out; openssl pkey <in >>outMar 24, 2018 at 10:04

Hi All, is there any updated answer for this? I have the same issue. These commands did not work for me
