Hi Kyle,
 
Thanks a ton for the quick reply buddy :)
 
When we debug our application in visual studio, we see that both "Extension" 
and "Extension->value" are not NULL. But "Extension->value->data" seems to be 
NULL or corrupted, causing our application to crash.
 
I am trying these options for debugging the problem :

I will update again after trying these options.
 
I suspect something being wrong in this certificate itself, may be it does not 
comply to the X509 certificate format. Can you please confirm that the 
certificate we are using is a valid x509 certificate ? 
 
This is the certificate we are using :
 
static unsigned char *LETestDefaultKey = {
  "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\r\n"
  "MIIBPAIBAAJBAM6ss7cWYg0Yf7Ot6PkdWBtQ0Pp89YO/2rG0K8iAJW5AY399hh/s\r\n"

Looking forward for your reply... have a wonderful day ahead !!!

Are you checking to make sure that there *is* data in that extension?
Or that the extension value even exists?

if (NULL == Extension->value) assert("Extension->value NULL");
if (NULL == Extension->value->data) assert ("Extension->value->data NULL");
OrgPtr=Extension->value->data;
