Unable to locate the keystore/certificate store or private key

[Robert . Zander]

Hi,

I'm using openssl, (I think the slimmed down engine version), and attempting to support a program written by someone else. The server that I'm talking to recently moved to a new ISP and the program stopped working. It should be as simple as getting the server's new certificate and it should work. The problem is that I can't find ANY place where this program is using a keystore, (*.pem), so I can't add the new cert. All of the typical directories, (e.g. /certs), are empty, (and I mean all of them). In both production and the test environment, there are no certificate files off of any of the usual directories and the program itself doesn't open or use any keystore files in any of the SSL library calls. Normally, you'd just find the keystore and add the new certificate and all would be well. My question is this; since I don't see any place that this program is using a private key or a certificate store, how is it working? Where does it get a list of CA's etc.? Does openSSL provide an internal keystore in the libraries? It has to be getting this information from somewhere to complete the handshake process. Thanks in advance.
