A .p10 file *is* the same as a .csr file; the Certificate Signing Request format is defined in PKCS#10. The only question is whether the file content begins with an '=' character. If it does, use -inform PEM; if it doesn't, use -inform DER.
(Considering that it's entirely possible to differentiate a base64-der-encoded blob as opposed to a der-encoded blob, because there's no way that an '=' character can start a DER blob, there's really no reason that I can see to keep the PEM versus DER distinction on the commandline. This is a legacy behavior from SSLeay that I can't really see the need for.) -Kyle H On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 3:09 AM, Anton Xuereb <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I have a certificate signing request in the form name.p10 issued by > microsoft outlook which I am trying to sign and issue and certificate for > from my linux server. > I am having some problems finding the correct syntax to treat this type of > file as other requests I have signed have come with the .csr extension. > Any ideas ? > Anton ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
