You can use the openssl x509 -in
command to view the details of an SSL certificate, including the common name (CN).
For example, to view the details of an SSL certificate stored in a file called cert.pem
, you can use the following command:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout
This will display the full details of the certificate, including the common name. The common name is typically located in the "Subject" field, which will look something like this:
Subject: CN=www.example.com
In this example, the common name is "www.example.com".
You can use the awk
command to extract the common name from the output of the openssl
command. For example, the following command will print the common name of the certificate:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout | awk '/Subject:/ {print $NF}'
This will output the common name (CN) of the certificate, without any other information.
