Hi, folks. I hope this is an easy question. I've searched the -users archive and also on google and found a couple of similar reports, but no cogent answers.
I just renewed my web server's Verisign Secure Server certificate (our 3rd year with them). The certificate they sent me this year is slightly larger than previously (1229 bytes rather than 912), and can't be loaded. When I try to inspect it with openssl x509 -text, I get this error message: unable to load certificate 11366:error:0D0A0007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509_ALGOR:expecting an asn1 sequence:x_algor.c:85:address=1539371 offset=0 11366:error:0D09F004:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509:nested asn1 error:x_x509.c:104:address=1538600 offset=771 11366:error:0906700D:PEM routines:PEM_ASN1_read_bio:ASN1 lib:pem_lib.c:290: Verisign tech support basically told me it was my problem to tell them what was wrong with the cert (!). I've doublechecked the original CSR and it was OK. Does this problem look familiar to anyone? tia/jbc -------- John Chambers Dept of Computer Sciences (MS C0500), Taylor Hall 2.124 The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX 78712-1188 (me)
