As I understand, the X509 certificates from CA or self-signed can be
created in either
PEM or DER format.
Is there a way to programmatically convert the PEM format file to DER
or DER to PEM?
Is there a single API or set of APIs available from openssl libraries?
It's simple Base64 conversion. The PEM file is the DER file
Base64 encoded and decorated with 4 fixed lines that mark it
as a certificate (two blank lines and two lines with a lot
of dashes).
No need to use the i2d_X509/d2i_X509 functions that convert to and
from an internal OpenSSL data structure
