Is it possible to create pvk files with OpenSSL 3.0? In previous version, it could be done with this commands:

OPENSSL genrsa -out test.key -passout pass:blahblah 2048
OPENSSL rsa -in test.key -inform pem -out test.pvk -outform PVK -pvk-strong -passout pass:blahblah

But, when i run this commands in OpenSSL 3.0, second command gives me an error:

300F0000:error:07880106:common libcrypto routines:ossl_pw_get_passphrase:reason(524550):crypto\passphrase.c:265:No password method specified
300F0000:error:04800068:PEM routines:i2b_PVK:bad password read:..\crypto\pem\pvkfmt.c:1058

I loaded legacy provider, but unfortunately, no effect. Do you have any suggestions or workarounds of this?

pem openssl certificate rsa

The error 'No password method specified' is referring to the fact that test.key has a password and you haven't entered it

you need to either;

  1. not set a password on test.key (using -nodes in the first command) or
  2. in the second command use -passin pass: ... etc (or env:,stdin:,etc)
