Greetings, I have followed the following instructions for converting an IIS export key into a format readable by open ssl:
my version is openSSL 0.9.6 24 Sep 2000 Export a backup file of the Certificate from the Key-Manager. Find this string in the binary file : "private-key" Trace back until you find this Hex value: "30 82" Write from that position to a new file (tmp.bin). With OpenSSL: openssl rsa -inform NET -in tmp.bin -out key.pem Type in your password. after entering the password I get the following error: unable to load key 16922:error:0D08C007:asn1 encoding routines:D2I_NETSCAPE_PKEY:expecting an asn1 sequence:n_pkey.c:351:address=135512784 offset=0 16922:error:0D08E08B:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_Netscape_RSA_2:unable to decode rsa private key:n_pkey.c:308: 16922:error:0D08D06F:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_Netscape_RSA:decoding error:n_pkey.c:2267:address=135499048 offset=17 any ideas? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
