Password to extract certificates from PKCS#12 file wrong.

Post by AlexAffe » Wed Mar 04, 2015 11:21 am

Hi,
I am trying to extract certificates on my Android phone from a PKCS#12 file. I created the file on OSX with the command

Code: Select all

openssl pkcs12 -export -nokeys -in ca.crt -out pkcs12.pfx
which executed fine. I then copied the file to my phone and used OpenVPN's Import function to import the certificates.
When I get asked for the password in the step "Extract certificate" the passwords I used to create the PKCS#12 file are revoked.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Alex

Not sure if this is the problem, but on iOS it's the actual phone's password that's required to install the certificates. I don't know how Android works though. Did you try your phone's password?
