Add password to openssl .pem file from -password I am generating a .pem file using openssl using the command: .pem openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca.key.pem 4096 It is working great but when I do this: openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca.key.pem 4096 -password pass:abcd It is still asking me for a password in the terminal and not automatically taking the supplied password. I've tried generating certificates before and it works for them eg. openssl pkcs12 -name username -inkey cert/key.key -in abc.pem -export -out cert.p12 -password pass:abcd 1 Answer 1 Your very close to the goal ! Key size must be the last parameter and -password replace with -passout -password -passout openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca.key.pem -passout pass:abcd 4096 That worked, Thanks :) – Rishabh Chaudhary 1 hour ago ...
