Is it possible to extract a certificate chain?
Hi all!

I wanted to look at the key length of a certificate chain we have. When I do the conventional export command using keytool I will only get the end user cert.

Code:
keytool -export -alias aliasname -file filename.cer -keystore keystorename

The above code will only give me the end user (the alias) without the intermediate and root CA after I convert the above binary cert to pem format.

Is there anyway to extract the entire certificate chain?
I've tried keytool and openssl but I did not find anything that would allow me to extract a certificate chain from a keystore.

Thanks!
Erin

If you are currently using the certificate on a server, try
Code:
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.yourserver.com:443

Thanks fpmurphy!

Worked like a charm Smilie (on my webserver)
I was wondering if it's possible to view a certificate chain from a keystore?

I was trying to find a keystore option within openssl but no luck yet.

I will update this thread if I find anything! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Erin
