I'm trying to add an SSL certificate that I created on Godaddy to my Google App Engine account on a Mac.
Using Keychain, I created a new 2048bit RSA private-public key pair, and with it created a CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest
. I then used this certificate signing request to create the new SSL certificate on Godaddy. They then let me download a zip file with two .crt
files in it (734b34####.crt
and gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
).
And then trying to add it to GAE, I get this screen:
Can anyone tell me what to enter as "PEM encoded X.509 public key certificate" and what as "Unexcrypted PEM encoded RSA private key"?
I tried exporting from Keychain all different relevant keys and certificates in all kinds of format (p12
, cer
, and converting them to pem
), even without passwords on them.
For some reason, whenever I export & convert the private key, its beginning looks like this:
Bag Attributes
friendlyName: *.mydomain.com
localKeyID: 10 93 42 BE 45...
subject=/OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.mydomain.com
issuer=/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=GoDaddy.com, Inc./OU=http://certs.godaddy.com/repository//CN=Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
After not finding any guide to do it on a Mac, and trying different options for hours, here's what I did:
.crt
provided by Godaddy into one: cat 734b34####.crt gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt > godaddy.crt
.godaddy.crt
for the first certificate ("PEM encoded X.509 public key certificate").p12
format, let's call it private.p12
:
p12
private key: openssl pkcs12 -in private.p12 -out private.pem -nodes -clcerts
. The password is just empty.private.pem
file to RSA type: openssl rsa -in private.pem -out private_unencrypted.pem -outform PEM
pbcopy < private_unencrypted.pem
.Bag Attributes
until -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(excluding) is deleted. The result is a long string that starts with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
and ends with -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
.You should now be able to click the Upload button at the bottom.
Phew!
Would love to see if anyone had a more elegant / official way to do it.
