Hi Fred,
These functions i2d_X509_bio and d2i_X509_bio are used for X509 cerificates in DER format.
But the requirement was to read X509 cert in PEM format from memory.
Hi Steve,
I got ur point bio = BIO_new_mem_buf(cert, -1);
will be more efficient becuase it avoid BIO_write by just assinging
(bp,x509) ASN1_i2d_bio(i2d_X509,bp,(unsigned char *)x509)
hope it could help
Fred
