Problems with PEM_ASN1_read

[Chandran,Vinod]

Hi,

 

 

Has the error involve while compiling example1.c been rectified.

I am referring to PEM_ASN1_read function. I am using openssl-0.9.7b .

When I compile the file using the above function, its failing.

However instead of PEM_ASN1_READ, when I use PEM_read_X509, it passes.

 

 x509 = (X509 *)PEM_ASN1_read ((char *(*)())d2i_X509,
!                                    PEM_STRING_X509,
!                                    fp, NULL, NULL, NULL);

 

giving errors:

 

When changed to

 

x509 = PEM_read_X509(fp, NULL, 0, NULL);
 

its passing.

 

Similarly instead of

pkey = (EVP_PKEY*)PEM_ASN1_read ((char *(*)())d2i_PrivateKey,
!                               PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY,
!                               fp,
!                               NULL, NULL, NULL);

 

pkey = PEM_read_PrivateKey(fp, NULL, 0, NULL);
 

the error was rectified. I am unaware why is the function PEM_ASN1_read is failing.

 

Thanks in advance,

Vinod C
