Hello.
This might be totaly wrong forum for my question or I
might be thinking totally wrong please forgive me
then.

I have a java keystore and want to export the private
key and certificate (Verisign 128-bits) in it for use
with Apache (we are changing server from a java-based
server to Apache (mod_ssl)). Apache works like a dream
when tested (compared to .... java.) with OpenSSL made
keys and cert. 

I do like this in Java to dump the key from out Java
keystore:
....
RSAPrivateCrtKey k = (RSAPrivateCrtKey)
keystore.getKey("alias", "password".toCharArray());
FileOutputStream fo = new
FileOutputStream("veri.pkcs8.cer");
fo.write(k.getEncoded());
fo.flush();
fo.close();
fo = null;
.....

The raw bytestream out from Java is supposedly PKCS8.
And OpenSSL wants PEM encoding?? Well. I am pretty new
with all this....

But when I try use $> "OpenSSL rsa -in ... -outform
PEM ...." (to convert) I only get: "unable to load key
...."

Has anyone done this or can anyone tell me if I am on
the right track or even tell me how.

Thanks Tomas.
