I was browsing through adobe sites and forums to find out how can I create a certificate for iOS development on windows. I tried OpenSSL on widnows but it always failed to find the config file.

So here is what I did –

  1. Install Cygwin – http://cygwin.com/install.html

Cygwin doesnt by default install OpenSSL so during installation, select the OpenSSL package for installation under ‘Net’ packages.

  1. After installation, run Cygwin Terminal.

on Terminal type ‘openssl’ and enter, prompt should change to OpenSSL –

Manik@Milkyway ~

$ openssl

OpenSSL>

3.  Type in below command to create CSR file. After entering that command, it shall ask you to enter some information and a password at the end. Remember that password, you would need it.  At then you should have a key and csr file in c:/test folder.

Manik@Milkyway ~

$ openssl

OpenSSL> req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /cygdrive/C/test/mms.key -out /cygdrive/C/test/mms.csr

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

……………………………………………………….+++

………………………………………………..+++

writing new private key to ‘/cygdrive/C/mms.key’

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated

into your certificate request.

What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank

For some fields there will be a default value,

If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank.

—–

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US

State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:State

Locality Name (eg, city) []:City

Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:My Company

Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Org

Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:CN

Email Address []:me@me.com

Please enter the following ‘extra’ attributes

to be sent with your certificate request

A challenge password []:test

An optional company name []:anything

  1. Upload the .csr file to iOS provisioning portal>Certificates – https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/

  2. Once you get have the certificate approved and available for download, get it. Copy that .cer file to c:/test folder.

  3. Go to Cygwin>OpenSSL prompt and enter below command –

x509 -in /cygdrive/C/test/ios_development.cer -inform DER -out /cygdrive/C/test/ios_development.pem -outform PEM

  1. To create .p12 file run below command on OpenSSL prompt –

openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey /cygdrive/C/test/mms.key -in /cygdrive/C/test/ios_development.pem -out /cygdrive/C/test/mms.p12

  1. Check your c:/test folder, you should have your certificate ready for use.
