softhsm2-keyconv - Man Page

softhsm2-keyconv --in path --out path [--pin PIN]

softhsm2-keyconv can convert BIND .private-key files to the PKCS#8 file format. This is so that you can import the PKCS#8 file into libsofthsm using the command softhsm2-util. If you have another file format, then openssl probably can help you to convert it into the PKCS#8 file format.
