I am not sure now if it is PKCS#8 but it has to be saved as only unencrypted privete key in PEM format.

Předmět: [Wireshark-users] SSL decryption -- RSA Key format


I have just run in to the first situation where I've needed to use Wireshark's SSL decryption feature.  I want to know what format the RSA key file needs to be in?  Is this PKCS#8 (private key only)?  
 
I'm working from an IIS server, which I understand can export to PKCS#12.  I've also seen some tutorials online for using OpenSSL to convert it into the PKCS#8 format. I just wanted to check if that was a necessary step or not.
 
Thanks,
Brian Baker
