Thanks Tom for the help.
It seems that there is some problem with the private key which I am passing.
With your key or newly generated key this logic works fine. Now the error
which I am getting is like :
OpenSSL error: error:0906D066:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:bad end line
And last lines of my keys are like :
"09dirkd+sRoXWShF8ctVVb4B1PAFTOBEa8diickehnAyEq6KhzLWpQqhqCnylETw\r\n"
"Drys2uVaAzmRhS6tGJ2fdwPnlSLJrQbHuP938BkyxNhdYN8drfqb\r\n";
"-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\r\n";
I have seen that the key which you are using or which I have generated has
"==" at the end, the same is not true with my current private key (end lines
above).
I will try to get the new key from the concerned person. thanks
* PS : To my wonder this file is being read properlly using API
PEM_read_PrivateKey().
thanks.
