copied!<p>So the answer as BorrajaX suggested was to not set a password for the key when prompted. However this is not possible as (at least on my Mac) wants the password to be a minimum 4 characters.</p> <p>The steps to fix this are:</p> <ol> <li>Create the certificate in the developer portal.</li> <li>Download and open the certificate locally in Keychain Access</li> <li>Export the certificate’s private key as a .p12 file from Keychain Access (I named it aps_key.p12).</li> <li>Run the following on the .p12 key:<br> <code>openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out aps_key.pem -in aps_key.p12</code></li> <li>Enter a password (which we will strip in a minute).</li> <li>Run the following to strip the password:<br> <code>openssl rsa -in aps_key.pem -out new_aps_key.pem</code></li> <li>Convert the .cer downloaded from the Developer Center to a .pem file:<br> <code>openssl x509 -in aps.cer -inform der -out aps.pem</code></li> <li>Merge the key and certificate .pem files with the following:<br> <code>cat aps.pem new_aps_key.pem > final_aps.pem</code></li> <li>You can now delete all other files, except for <code>final_aps.pem</code>.</li> </ol> <p>The <code>final_aps.pem</code> file then works with the code above without getting prompted for a password/pass phrase.</p> <p>This is a useful website where I found the code for removing the password from the .pem file: <a href="http://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-commands.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-commands.html</a></p> <p>Edit: If you don't need the certificate and the key in the same file, you can just ignore step 8 and use the <code>aps.pem</code> and <code>new_aps_key.pem</code> files.</p>
