Hello, if you use the browser to generate the request, the key is stored in the browser's database. There are no options to export the key directly, however once you have issued the certificate on the CA and imported it on the user's web browser, you'll be able to export the certificate (and the private key) by opening the certificates panel (eg., from Preferences -> Advanced -> Encryption), select the user's certificate and click on Export.
The exported file (.p12) will carry both the user's certificate and the corresponding private key. Then you can use tools like OpenSSL to extract the private key from the .p12 file (PKCS12). later, Max On 09/27/2010 01:48 PM, Kouame Robin wrote:
Morning Dear professor MASSIMILIANO Pala I succed to install OpenCA ten ten on CentOS 5.3 with Firefox browser. I'm now performing it, but I don't know how to export the private key of the user after requesting a certificate by the browser key generation mode. Thanks for your answer.
