Default Re: Convert keys (OpenSSL to OpenSSH)

So...

You are instructing me to:

1. Generate a keyset using ssh-keygen.

2. Use "Openssl req" to generate the Cert. request using the keys from ssh-keygen.

3. Submit this new cert request to my PKI for signing.

Correct?

Any extra bits I need to be careful about??

No, but "openssl req" can from an OpenSSH private key.
