Ive got past the original problem of using openssl. I can create a certificate and use it. If I try to display the private key contents using *openssl x509 -in $1.pem -text -noout*, it has problems. I dont think openssl x509 supports private keys - though I think I have done this once on Linux... checking with other keys - they fail the same sort of way. So this could all be a user error! I didn't have to do anything with code pages etc. I also had problems getting from a RACF key data set down and using openssl on that... but that is on the back boiler. Colin
