Validate SSL certificate with the Private Key

To valid a SSL certificate with the private key, follow the 3 steps below. I have the SSL certificate shahalpk.name.crt and the private key shahalpk.name.key.

1. Execute the below command for the SSL certificate

   openssl x509 -modulus -noout -in shahalpk.name.crt | openssl md5
   

   Output

   (stdin)= 9115096b827915e181b6b29bf5a049f1
   

2. Execute the below command for the private key

   openssl rsa -modulus -noout -in shahalpk.name.key | openssl md5
   

   Output

   (stdin)= 9115096b827915e181b6b29bf5a049f1
   

3. If output of both the commands are same, then your private key is matching with your SSL certificate.
