Hi Viktor, Thanks for your response.
I also saw this response from -M. Would this be a problem also? Cert file or key file? The error indicates that the client can't find the private key.

No, you can just re-wrap the base64 data you have to 64 characters per line. There are two different 64's here. The size of the base64 encoding alphabet (64 possible choices for each letter) and the length of the PEM encoded line (64 such letters per line). The file you have is already base64 encoded, but the line length is not PEM compatible (PEM requires 64 characters per line). So just rewrap the lines to use 64 chars on all but the last line. Example: Same (random) base64 data wrapped to 76 characters per line and 64 per line: $ rand=$(mktemp /tmp/rand.XXXXXX) $ openssl rand 1024 > $rand $ echo; echo "76 per line:" $ < $rand perl -MMIME::Base64 -e ' while (($n = read(STDIN, $buf, 57)) > 0) { print encode_base64($buf); } ' $ echo; echo "64 per line:" $ < $rand perl -MMIME::Base64 -e ' while (($n = read(STDIN, $buf, 48)) > 0) { print encode_base64($buf); } ' $ rm -f $rand 76 per line: KaKWCSfJmiuxlTinrD+dCQbsZkIb9ne5A1f3I1ZkFY6jmDkhC4lSmW+eRr61ANlYfh+TqSTc KaKWCSfJmiuxlTinrD+dCQbsZkIb9ne5A1f3I1ZkFY6jmDkhC4lSmW+eRr61ANlYfh+UHe9 6FBQtc0HiV2mPezaBkdK6gH61vKBQYY5mEryMeJ86K56UwAL+VXQzV6AQLY74Hnjs1sZuuUt 6FBQtc0HiV2mPezaBkdK6gH61vKBQYY5mEryMeJ86K56UwAL+L6ju rWGkgwqdJ0j/a7ie0baqUls4jxXA6kRdfYL5v6A16R0g94I1NNVGNWL4uF9sWvfJZSHDoxg2RGZq LwjOR9M2BPiFPeun22GnlibTK+jzIjB3j4f/FLJ+QdFVVVCUK0coWfJw33+F583G6YJIifUZ LwjOR9M2BPiFPeun22GnlibTK+C38j cxH5hLcuvtwev+cpuLiAwMqT07CISVotkQvNxoLCPvVpD/43uTnxWvd0qBC0kJ/E99d0q2Ig cxH5hLcuvtwev+3wtO kdFZl1x0xhhw4MVHYDfQ5XPzIz3KRDVpDJI6YbeTltOdCY1Td2tMolJLIen7G7d13c2HQk9ouuKf wo8rljcsu0GoHR7czAiqYUDgT+EAlVBIfov3kSj2R02zIZS0YEBZLVQM6LhOCD9zGOFxvxC+xYsj +UfeMIj/kF+i7vXXnXosHyyqKIQxyFhoJdNqADtPfyWIEMW05cnijpWKdrnrvvFirEeQMnLI +JemZ EPxc57WTh9O/vuZDLGm90qa8FwfUkyLGf7bqVRWoFQJWRMGifQStx/qvasA5HvfaOC0yaRcqBFeo uykVr8gM5uPldKUMA0zdsUPYjvto/ZUwshTEgHyA7T7Vinp9Mmn+HhzlGw80yQHfKytEVfaJFmUk cStshPOGvMQCwLtOEX8ijt3XkKUZdbW3HYfOVCvrVwGY/ARznrMU5OyTedOgKcsElH+u2qiCTQYa E+MrSYwYbX+1Vs9fbd8tGT/9qUwyRFNY7BULs5LMC4EePbpMvXT0YFlMhmqcGABBNzUPaDv1 E+MrSYwYbX+kWgP wcOO+DuTuxTeZl2Z5WjrUzM4VcTd7wZ9mv3GOAE1iErBC/MqnaTjJNuoDsm874si3A3Pb7Ib wcOO+BRyz 021LN+64cXJ7Yrq+CNfP7jVUynthkfFBSMe5OA3Ep9uDblS5/8lvSKeh4zONxoVNJH79PQr7 021LN+64cXJ7Yrq+G4V2 jR/WjhlrOei+of89TIaCaSw22vMzXUiOpTpK7fvJQardMuThCnlYDnlgczxjbvYVJe7OOWcsR5En f5Ccb5rC2E1IQHxn4xYpf7qrsPDJf4gGTkU8qTppHqnsqiSiFlpDZ5OWDr2xC9X6kObEeEw4gGiH OcNnD8mCPQrNuksnDszFnUKnoY8s/ugj7YlbvgqOE1KNZeMl0Bi6lxsoLroIiciqBscqeNR9WU7C EwWz0CEmWdTSh5eMqJPJqgAi8zY8njbCG9IUf7HfuXEf1ESvvTE7UNlKBmrRal3rAIKDIVJIAQ== 64 per line: KaKWCSfJmiuxlTinrD+dCQbsZkIb9ne5A1f3I1ZkFY6jmDkhC4lSmW+eRr61ANlY fh+TqSTcUHe96FBQtc0HiV2mPezaBkdK6gH61vKBQYY5mEryMeJ86K56UwAL+VXQ zV6AQLY74Hnjs1sZuuUtL6jurWGkgwqdJ0j/a7ie0baqUls4jxXA6kRdfYL5v6A1 6R0g94I1NNVGNWL4uF9sWvfJZSHDoxg2RGZqLwjOR9M2BPiFPeun22GnlibTK+jz IjB3j4f/FLJ+QdFVVVCUK0coWfJw33+F583G6YJIifUZC38jcxH5hLcuvtwev+cp uLiAwMqT07CISVotkQvNxoLCPvVpD/43uTnxWvd0qBC0kJ/E99d0q2Ig3wtOkdFZ l1x0xhhw4MVHYDfQ5XPzIz3KRDVpDJI6YbeTltOdCY1Td2tMolJLIen7G7d13c2H Qk9ouuKfwo8rljcsu0GoHR7czAiqYUDgT+EAlVBIfov3kSj2R02zIZS0YEBZLVQM 6LhOCD9zGOFxvxC+xYsj+UfeMIj/kF+i7vXXnXosHyyqKIQxyFhoJdNqADtPfyWI EMW05cnijpWKdrnrvvFirEeQMnLIJemZEPxc57WTh9O/vuZDLGm90qa8FwfUkyLG f7bqVRWoFQJWRMGifQStx/qvasA5HvfaOC0yaRcqBFeouykVr8gM5uPldKUMA0zd sUPYjvto/ZUwshTEgHyA7T7Vinp9Mmn+HhzlGw80yQHfKytEVfaJFmUkcStshPOG vMQCwLtOEX8ijt3XkKUZdbW3HYfOVCvrVwGY/ARznrMU5OyTedOgKcsElH+u2qiC TQYaE+MrSYwYbX+1Vs9fbd8tGT/9qUwyRFNY7BULs5LMC4EePbpMvXT0YFlMhmqc GABBNzUPaDv1kWgPwcOO+DuTuxTeZl2Z5WjrUzM4VcTd7wZ9mv3GOAE1iErBC/Mq naTjJNuoDsm874si3A3Pb7IbBRyz021LN+64cXJ7Yrq+CNfP7jVUynthkfFBSMe5 OA3Ep9uDblS5/8lvSKeh4zONxoVNJH79PQr7G4V2jR/WjhlrOei+of89TIaCaSw2 2vMzXUiOpTpK7fvJQardMuThCnlYDnlgczxjbvYVJe7OOWcsR5Enf5Ccb5rC2E1I QHxn4xYpf7qrsPDJf4gGTkU8qTppHqnsqiSiFlpDZ5OWDr2xC9X6kObEeEw4gGiH OcNnD8mCPQrNuksnDszFnUKnoY8s/ugj7YlbvgqOE1KNZeMl0Bi6lxsoLroIiciq BscqeNR9WU7CEwWz0CEmWdTSh5eMqJPJqgAi8zY8njbCG9IUf7HfuXEf1ESvvTE7 UNlKBmrRal3rAIKDIVJIAQ== -- Viktor. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
