Reading private key from Memory Buffer.

[Dan Ribe]

Hi,

I am trying to read the private key from the memory buffer (code snippet
below), But PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey() always returns an error : OpenSSL
error: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line

Can anyone please point out what I am doing wrong here. I am pretty new to
OpenSSL, so please excuse me if i have messed up the things !

Code Snippet :

    char *key = "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
    "jGK1T++C+Np4As+KoaO2NCiCBN5UQJRzXBsZvLDoN6IcfxJwXklp560jrKiIZ8VU"
    "N2AZVq28yjqt3RYaRPn0xhbmLfWH/o+wzlg58wIDAQABAoIBAAHEep7qWWMFWsbc"

    "09dirkd+sRoXWShF8ctVVb4B1PAFTOBEa8diickehnAyEq6KhzLWpQqhqCnylETw"
    "Drys2uVaAzmRhS6tGJ2fdwPnlSLJrQbHuP938BkyxNhdYN8drfqb"
    "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----";

    int keyLength = strlen(key);
    BIO *bio = BIO_new_mem_buf(key, keyLength);

    EVP_PKEY *pktmp = NULL;
    pktmp = PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(bio, NULL, NULL, NULL);

    if (pktmp == NULL) {
        char buffer[120];

        ERR_error_string(ERR_get_error(), buffer);
        fprintf(stderr, "OpenSSL error: %s", buffer);
    }

Thanks much for Help
Cheers !
