SSL: cheat note

How do I display the contents of a SSL certificate?

You can display the contents of a PEM formatted certificate under Linux, using openssl:

   openssl x509 -in test.crt -text

Likewise, you can display the contents of a DER formatted certificate using this command:

   openssl x509 -in MYCERT.der -inform der -text

If you want to check CSRs on your own computer, run this OpenSSL command:

    openssl req -in mycsr.csr -noout -text
