How do I determine the expiration date of a p12 certificate?

First you will need to translate the pkcs12 certificate into a PEM certificate.
The PEM certificate is only needed temporarily and can later be removed.

$ openssl pkcs12 - in certificate.p12 -out tempcrt.pem Enter Import Password: MAC verified OK Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase:

 

Now, we use the tempcrt.pem that we generated to determine the expiration date. The first method, which only displays the expiration date can be retrieved like this:

?

1 2	$ openssl x509 - in tempcrt.pem -noout -enddate notAfter=Jan  3 23:19:24 2009 GMT

 

The second method which includes a lot more detail about the certificate below, I’ve only included the details relevant to the creation and expiration dates.

$ openssl x509 - in tempcrt.pem -noout -text          [ ... snip ... ]          Validity              Not Before: Jan  3 23:19:24 2008 GMT              Not After : Jan  3 23:19:24 2009 GMT          [ ... snip ... ]
