How to use IBM HTTPserver keys in Apache?

[trifo]

Hi!

I need to export some keys from an ikeyman key database and use them in a regular apache as SSL certificate.

Apache by default uses keys generated by openssl
I can export keys from the ikeyman .kdb file as *.arm, but I do not know what they really are.

Can you help me converting these .arm certificates into something that I can use with Apache?

Thanks,

Trifo,

I am not sure if this is helpful, but there is a tool that comes with the LDAP package for creating your own certicates.

You could try downloading the information on it from the IBM ldap directory website.

During the time I have found the way. I think at least. You have to export keys in PKCS12 format, that can be eaten by openssl.

My only problem now is the misbehaviour of ikeyman: when I am exporting a key to PKCS12 file, I have to provide a key passphrase. There is a "Password" and a "Password again" field on the key export window in the ikeyman. I enter the password, but can not anyhow go to the fielt "Password again:" It makes me go nuts!
