Ruby OpenSSL pkcs8 .key to .pem












1















We run this command via Gem.



openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -in file_init.key -passin pass:secret -out file_key.pem


All works fine on shell, we wanna convert this line to openssl with ruby, we tried:



key_file = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read('file_init'), 'secret'
puts key_file.to_pem_pkcs8


But we get:



`initialize': Neither PUB key nor PRIV key: nested asn1 error (OpenSSL::PKey::RSAError)


Any advice?

Ruby's openssl implementation doesn't handle pkcs8 encrypted der key-file.
There is a workaround (converting the der to PEM by base64 encoding the der + adding correct headers) here:
