Convert from P7B to PEM via OpenSSL

Solution 1:

Try this:

$ openssl pkcs7 -inform der -in a.p7b -out a.cer

If it doesn't work, brings to a Windows machine and export follow this guide.

Solution 2:

So to combine the above answers, the command is:
openssl pkcs7 -in cert.p7b -inform DER -print_certs -out cert.pem

Verified to be working on Windows, using OpenSSL-Win64

/Thanks Bogdan for spotting the error

Solution 3:

I followed this guide that instructs you to change the header/footer lines from

-----BEGIN PKCS #7 SIGNED DATA-----
[data]
-----END PKCS #7 SIGNED DATA-----

to

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[data]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Then run the command openssl pkcs7 -in foo.modified.crt -print_certs -out foo.certs (where foo.modified.crt is the file that you saved the modified version into). This gave me the same results as running through a Windows certificate export as suggested in other answers.

Solution 4:

As far as I know, the following should convert a pkcs7 cert to a pem

openssl pkcs7 -in certificate_file.p7b -print_certs -out cert.pem

Solution 5:

quick solution in my case (a lot of files with missing header/footer) :

base64 -d $FILE | openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -print_certs
