Oct 20, 2016 at 18:02 comment added Chris W. @Nakedible I've been given an X.509 certificate (signed public key) which I would like to add to an authorized_keys file on the server end. Is this possible? How can I convert the certificate into something appropriate for authorized_keys?

Mar 18, 2013 at 20:49 comment added anshul This probably is the most complete answer I could have hoped for. Thanks a lot!
Mar 18, 2013 at 19:58 comment added Nakedible I did, although I am beginning to doubt this will actually be useful for you - if you are still wishing for ideal back-and-forth conversion without losing data, that is just not a meaningful goal.

Mar 18, 2013 at 15:26 comment added anshul Could you please explain how would I use that private key in the openssl command? I tried reading the man but didn't get anywhere.
Mar 18, 2013 at 13:16 comment added Nakedible You can, the private key is already in a compatible format so you can just use that in the OpenSSL command.

Mar 18, 2013 at 12:57 comment added anshul Thanks! That helped clarify things quite a bit. Can I use the ssh keys to self sign and generate this cert?
