CentOS - Jul 2022 - bash script input password automatically.

Hi,

I have the below commands to generate keystore.pkcs12 and keystore.jks
files on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in fullchain1.pem -inkey privkey1.pem -out
keystore.pkcs12 -name javasso
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.pkcs12 -srcstoretype pkcs12
-destkeystore keystore.jks -deststoretype jks -alias javasso

I have created a small shell script to generate both keystore.pkcs12 and
keystore.jks files. It prompts for a password. Is there a way to key in a
password without prompt or non-interactive way?
For example password is stored in a file and the bash script will source it
instead of manually typing the password.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

See the "PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS" section of the openssl(1) man page for
the various ways openssl can get a password.
