SSL Certificates - OS X Mavericks

Question

I am trying to connect to application on localhost which uses SSL. I am using Mac OS X Mavericks. The error I am getting is following:

Error sending cURL ge         


        

Answer 1

There are two things you can do:

(1) Convert the .pem certificate to .p12:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out my_certificate.p12 -inkey my_certificate.pem -in my_certificate.pem`

and use it with curl with the PASSWORD you pick when converting:

curl --cert my_certificate.p12:PASSWORD.

(2) Drag the .pem file into your keychain, open the infopane, set it to 'always trust' for SSL and X.509, and note the COMMON-NAME. (name of certificate)

curl --cert COMMON-NAME

Both work for me on OSX 10.9 with cURL 7.35.0
