Good morning, all!

I’m trying to get openssh to generate some self-signed certificates 
for a test VPN using Strongswan IPsec 4.5.2. This version will not 
read private keys in the PKCS#8 format.


Is there a way to either convert PKCS#8 keys to the older version, or, 
alternately, specify the older version when generating keys?



Yes, the command is openssl pkcs8 -in pkcs8file.pem -out oldformat.pem

Enjoy

Re: Using PKCS#1 instead of PKCS#8

Well my first thought is PKCS12.
And I found this link for PKCS12 maybe this might help.
