Did you do an SSL_load_error_strings( ); anywhere in your code? If not give that a try. Bill Browning -----Original Message----- From: Jason Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 10:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how to understand the error code? Please help... I was trying to read RSA private key that was written with encryption. error occured. I got the error printed out, but have no idea how to read it. I checked the err manual page and err.h. a clean up version of the code segment is as follows: FILE * fp; fp = fopen("output/rsa.private.key","w"); char * password = "password"; PEM_write_RSAPrivateKey(fp,rsa,EVP_des_ede3_cbc(),NULL,0,NULL,password) ; ....... fp = fopen("output/rsa.private.key","r"); ....... pRsa = PEM_read_RSAPrivateKey(fp,NULL,NULL,password); if(pRsa == NULL) { printf("\n---- Read is failed ---\n"); char * buf = new char[256]; ERR_error_string(ERR_get_error(),buf); printf("\n err is : %s\n", buf); delete buf; buf = 0; return 0; } ... the error is as follows: 10302:error:0906B072:lib(9):func(107):reason(114):pem_lib.c:506: Thanks, Jason PS, I compiled the library with -ggdb option, if that makes any difference. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
