I am getting this error when I try to use some ruby OepnSSL libraries to obtain the private key from my private key PEM file.
I have tried this on the SSL credentials I got for my web-site from GoDaddy.com - The site works fine and credentials are recognized in IE and FF. I tried generating my own RSA key directly on my Mac - to avoid any possibility of errors on transferring. I ran this command on the Mac openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 1024 Then I ran this command in a ruby rails development console where f is the file holding the private key key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(f.read) Then I ran this command to generate a self-signed certificate openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095 Just to try it, I also tried it pointing to the certificate file In both instances, I get the same error message Any ideas what might be going on, and what I can do to overcome this ? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
