Hello all,

Is there any extra information about the open ssl tool integrated in the console to change the private key password:

  • which version of open ssl is used?
  • is it possible to do it manually?how?

Thanks in advance!

Hi marie,

You can use this command:

openssl.exe pkcs8 -topk8 -in -out -v1 PBE-SHA1-3DES

I believe it should work with the latest version of openssl… And it is best to try this once or twice to make sure it works the way you expect…

May I ask what your plans are for this?

Hi Ben,

Just to find a way to change the password in case a user lost his sql password and can’t do it from the console…

Anyway, i will test the command.

thanks ben :slight_smile:

Many thanks Ben, the command is working pretty fine, it is just what i need!

I have a small question on how the new output created pvk file is loaded automatically to the console ?

Another one regarding the change password in general,is it ok to change password twice ? i mean is there a delay between two attempts ?

Thanks again!

Hey Marie,

You can go to Tools > Manage Keys to change which keys you are using in the console… The password encrypts the file itself and so you can do it as many times as you want and there is no central place that controls the password changing for the private key file.

Hi Ben,

In case the user doesn’t know the old password , this command won’t work !

Is there another solution ? or we will have to create a new operator with a new private key?

if so , will the command be simply: openssl genrsa -des3 -out publisher.pvk 2048 ?

Hi marie,

That is correct, the password encrypts the file itself so if you lose the password, you lose access to your key.
