How to extract certificate from .p12 (PFX) file using KEYTOOL commands

I want to extract certificate from a .p12 file. I can't use openssl as it is not allowed in my organization.

Is keytool able to extract the certificate, or is there any other way by which I can get this certificate extracted?

Do I require the password for the private key for this?

Solution

  • You can use this Keytool command to export certificate from a KeyStore.

    keytool -exportcert -keystore KEYSTORE_ABSOLUTE_PATH.p12 -storetype PKCS12 -storepass KEYSTORE_PASSWORD -alias ALIAS -file EXPORTED_CERT_NAME.crt
