How to extract private key from pfx file using openssl? [closed]

Your command is correct, and gives you the encrypted private key in PKCS#8 format. If you need the unencrypted private key, just add the -nodes option:

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out key.pem

If you need the private key in old RSA format, you should convert the given key with the openssl pkcs8 command:

openssl pkcs8 -in key.pem -out rsakey.pem
