Re: [Handle-info] Replacing self-signed certificate

The Handle.Net software distribution includes hdl-convert-key, which can convert your PEM key to Handle format.

    hdl-convert-key key.pem -o serverCertificatePrivateKey.bin

should do it.

Note that hdl-convert-key will only work on a PKCS#8 PEM file (starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----).  It won't work on a PKCS#1 PEM file (starts with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----).  You can convert from PKCS#1 to PKCS$8 like this:

    openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in old-style-pkcs1-key.pem

Best,
Robert

Hello,

I'm trying to replace the self-signed certificate and key, which were
created by the Handle Server, serverCertificate.pem and
serverCertificatePrivateKey.bin.

I created a new certificate and key, but they are both in PEM format.
How do I create the serverCertificatePrivateKey.bin file from a PEM
formatted key?
